Zan,
If you refer to the weapons posts you had said that Greece, not the RoC is supplied by the Russians. I quoted the present arsenal of Greece and how it is mostly American and partly French and German with some minor additions from Russia. I believe I also referred to the arms that Turkey has bought from Russia which can be seen in newscasts in the hands of the border guards.
As outsider we can infer things from what politicians say and do.
The parlimentary debate in the Greek parliament in the late 80s was a wideranging foreign policy debate and historic in the sense that it marked a break from policies of the past. Everything that happened since then underlines the conclusion that things have changed. But if you feel happy being stuck on the twin slogans of Enosis and Megali Idea, I cannot stop you.
And by the way, an honest judge is the one who looks at the evidence before him and nothing else. Extraneous factors are the foundations of corruption. This is the word from Lord Diplock, a great English judge.
