'''Dimitrios Ioannides''' (also spelled '''[[Dimitrios Ioannidis]]''') was a Greek military man who was involved in the seven-year dictatorship ([[1967]] - [[1974]]).

Although descended from [[Epirus]] in the North West of [[Greece]], Ioannides was born in [[Athens]] on [[March 13]], [[1923]] to an upper middle class family of businessmen. As a Greek officer, he fought in the [[Greek Civil War]] and later served in the [[Makronisos]] internment camps for the communists. In [[1963]], he served in [[Cyprus]].

Ioannides took active part in the coup d' etat of [[April 21]], [[1967]] but preferred to stay in the background during the first six years, allowing [[George Papadopoulos]] the limelight. Instead, Ioannides became chief of the Greek Military Police (ESA) which he turned into a feared force for military and civilians alike. He was promoted to Colonel in [[1970]] and Brigadier General in [[1973]].

After the demonstrations and rioting that took place in November of [[1973]], Ioannides organised a coup d' etat and, on [[November 25]], overthrew Papadopoulos and installed his friend and fellow Epirote, [[Phaedon Gizikis]], as President of Greece.

Ioannides also organised the [[July 15]], [[1974]] coup d' etat in [[Cyprus]] that overthrew the government of Archbishop [[Makarios III]]. This led to the Turkish invasion of the island on [[July 20]] which, in turn, led to the downfall of the Greek [[Junta]].

Ioannides was arrested and charged with rebellion and treason. He was sentenced to death which was converted to a life sentence.
