  • Evangelos Averoff-Tositsas was a distinguished liberal Greek politician of Aromanian origin and a prominent author. During the tripartite Axis occupation of Greece, Averoff was taken hostage and imprisoned in Italy. He escaped a year later and created the "Freedom or Death" resistance group, which aimed to liberate Greek and Allied war hostages. During the military dictatorship of 1967-1974, Averoff participated in one of the foremost acts of resistance against the regime, the Velos mutiny, for which he was arrested as an "instigator". After the restoration of democracy in 1974 during metapolitefsi, Averoff participated in the New Democracy centre-right party under Konstantinos Karamanlis and served as minister in subsequent governments. Averoff was elected president of the party in 1981, but had to leave his post due to health problems in 1984. Evangelos Averoff has been a prominent author of political and historical works, such as "Customs Union in the Balkans" (1933), which the Carnegie institute awarded, "Fire and Axe, 1944-1949" (1974) dealing with the Greek civil war, and "A History of missed opportunities: The Cypriot Problem 1956-1963" (1981).
  • Evangelos Averoff-Tositsas war ein konservativer griechischer Politiker, Schriftsteller und Industrieller aromunischer (vlachischer) Herkunft. Der vollständige Name lautete Evangelos Averoff-Tositsas (Ευάγγελος Αβέρωφ-Τοσίτσας) oder Evangelos Anastasios Averoff-Tositsas (Ευάγγελος Αναστασίος Αβέρωφ-Τοσίτσας). Er entstammte der aromunischen Familie Averoff aus der Ortschaft Metsovo in Epirus und war mit dem Unternehmer Georgios Averoff verwandt. Averoff studierte Rechtswissenschaften und Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Universität von Lausanne in der Schweiz. Anschließend promovierte er sowohl zum Doktor der Politik- als auch zum Doktor der Rechtswissenschaften. Formal war er in Nachfolge des Barons Michail Tositsas ebenfalls Baron Tositsa. Aufgrund des Artikel 4 Absatz 7 der Griechischen Verfassung von 1974 (Verbot des Adels und der Adelsbezeichnungen) führte er diesen Adelstitel in Griechenland nicht. Er lebte seit 1946 in Kifissia, einer Vorstadt im Großraum Athen und verstarb dort am 2. Januar 1990. Seine Beerdigung erfolgte ebenda.
