How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

"once the Greek Cypriots started implementing plans to expel the Turks and make the island purely their own territory. "

Well that puts the motives of this writer in perspective. Anyone here can name one single TC who was harmed between the July 15 1974 coup and the start of the invasion on July 20? Not a single one was harmed.

The daily conflicts in the Aegean occur when Turkish jets violate Athens FIR, overfly Greek maritime territory and sometimes right over land. The Greek navy patrols the waters around the 2999 Greek islands in the Aegean and does not violate anyone's waters. There has never been one single incident starting with a Greek violation of Turkish territory.


Purdey says Greece does not have anything to offer the world. What do other similar sized countries offer by comparison? Countries like Austria, Hungary, etc what do they offer the world Purdey and why should they offer anything? From what I see countries either sell their products or if they are strong enough manage to bully others for their benefit. Who exactly are these honchos that offer the world anything?

Nobody offers anything unless there is something to be gained.Fact of life nowadays,sad but true.
There were days when neighbours would come to the rescue out of cries for help,but those days are gone.Of course Turkey bully Greece,it is a time honoured custom,they just like to remind Greece there is nothing they can do...

How are the Greeks sly? :?

Are you not sly for suspecting them and accusing them of being sly?

What have they done, above and beyond what any other Nation has done, that makes them worthy for you to single out as "sly" ?

Well at least hey can face up to the truth.....Perhaps they can at last give us the real numbers of how many GCs they killed and shut the GCs up once and for all. I doubt it though. We will still get the blame for the whole 6000 that the likes of Piratis are quoting. The real figures will give the real story though so we can't have that. :roll: [/url]

Karamanlis: Time to begin work on long-lasting problems

The Greek government is ready to work in earnest to further improve ties with neighboring Turkey, said Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis ahead of a historic visit to Ankara beginning today, warning that the time has come to start resolving a number of substantial problems plaguing the countries' ties despite an unprecedented recovery in recent years.


"The Greek government and I are ready to expend every effort to help better our relations in a substantial manner," he said in an interview with the Anatolia news agency. He stressed that there were still serious problems the two countries needed to deal with despite drastic improvements in the areas of trade and social and cultural interaction in recent years, citing the Cyprus dispute in particular. Karamanlis, who arrives in Ankara today for a three-day visit, is the first Greek prime minister to visit Turkey in 49 years.

"We attach great importance to this visit, which has much meaning for Turkish-Greek relations," Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said yesterday. The trip comes in the wake of the launch of a pipeline transferring natural gas from Caspian Sea suppliers to Europe in November. This was the latest step in a major recovery in economic ties between the two archrivals since a devastating 1999 quake in Turkey's northwest triggered an outpouring of sympathy between the two nations. Political contacts have also intensified, and the Greek government has taken a strong stance in favor of Turkey's accession to the EU.

But a number of serious problems remain to be solved. Tension has been high in the Aegean recently, as the Turkish military has accused Greek war planes and fishing boats of increased violations of Turkey's airspace and territorial waters. The two countries are also at odds over Cyprus, divided between a Greek Cypriot-controlled south and a Turkish Cypriot north.

Karamanlis said his government remained committed to supporting Turkey's EU aspirations provided that Ankara fulfills the membership criteria. One key obstacle to the Turkish accession, he said, remains Cyprus and he called on Ankara to recognize the Greek Cypriot administration.

"Despite an overall improvement and although our economic relations have substantially progressed, there are still serious problems that we need to deal with. The Cyprus problem, which casts a shadow over our ties, should reach a settlement on the basis of a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation," Karamanlis said.

In an address to the Greek Parliament on Friday, Karamanlis said his country's ties with Turkey are not yet fully normalized. "I know this is a lengthy, difficult and tiring procedure. But in any case, we cannot let the problems persist forever," he told Anatolia, emphasizing that inactivity is very damaging for both countries. "Greece is extending its hand as a friend. I expect our Turkish friends to respond," he said.

During the Jan. 23-25 visit, Karamanlis will be in both Ankara and İstanbul, where he and Erdoğan are expected to attend a business forum on transport links, including possible direct flights between Athens and Ankara. He will also pay a visit to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate based in İstanbul and meet Patriarch Bartholomew.
