Those so-called wealthy bunch of scheming Greek-Americans are too flaky and transparent for the American Congress to base their "True" relationship(s) upon, where their Turkish-American peers, with their solid Turkish Government relations, are obviously a much better platform to invest in.
It goes to show - Quality is better than Quantity when it comes to money-related transactions (Which I guess also explains a lot with Cyprus' situation - The "Important" countries obviously value their relationship with Turkey far more than a few wealthy Greek Cypriot Boat-man who happened to have made a few dollars under their "Hijacked" Republic!) - Hehehehehe.
Obviously, this article only just touches the surface of what's really happening!
All one needs to do is compare Greece's and/or Cyprus' GDP/GNP p/capita etc against that of Turkey to bury your theory...
NB: The p/capita added after getting scorned by DT...
