Noisy Greeks They still have the old bad habit. At every occasion they show their ridiculous faces... but time is near... max in 1 year time, they will face with the realities...
Don't blame the Greeks when Talat was lying all along that he had set up a meeting in Washington .... at a time when Clinton was not even scheduled to be in the country
.... But in future, remember the Greek Lobby will be heard, without resorting to your silly games and tricks.
The Greek American lobby can only help if people support them. The first thing that will make their job easier is for Greeks in the old country to stop bashing everything American.
Here is the second thing, pay attention Cypriots:
Philip Christopher, a refugee from Kyrenia, is THE face and one of a few powerful voices for Cypriot Americans in the States. He was the one who called us out, the one with a bull horn protesting the arrival of the then Turkish Cypriot leader Denktash to the States, the one who gives speeches, the one...do you understand?
Now, Americans have a saying: money talks and bullshit walks. Do you all understand what that means?
The Turks have recently given 2 million dollars (easily) to a FYROM diaspora organization in the States for lobbying activity.
The truth is, the average American does not know where Cyprus is on the map. On the other hand, American jobs have been created because of all the military hardware being bought by Turkey who is seen as a vital ally simply because of where it is situated on a map. Turkey can remain a vital ally to the States but not at the expense of Cyprus. Support those who are out there talking to government agencies, who are out there on the streets telling our side of the story. Instead of bashing Americans who have no idea what you are upset about; try to help those who push for a more even policy in this region:
make a donation to this group or you can continue to whine, the choice is yours. The name is Mr. Philip Christopher, the organization is called: The International Coordinating Committee "Justice for Cyprus" (PSEKA)
Don't skip the brave but ridiculous lobbyist Gene Rossides.
