The Hellenic tail must not wag the European dog
By Marko Attila Hoare, 31st December 2007



1. Greece and Cyprus are, over Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo, pursuing policies motivated by nationalist concerns that are out of keeping with democratic values and counter to EU interests.

2. Greece and Cyprus have since the early 1990s consistently pursued destructive policies in South East Europe that have proved highly damaging vis-a-vis both Turkey and the former Yugoslavia.

3. For the sake of regional stability, and to set an example for how new EU member-states should behave, it is time for the Western alliance to cease to tolerate Greek and Cypriot mischief-making.

Yawn.

Seriously Insan, who gives a shit what some two-bit academic thinks? And what sort of name is Marko Attila Whore?

You must get out more, instead of trawling the internet for ridiculous anti-Greek propaganda.

And just for the record, Cyprus and Greece can do what they damn well please in pursuit of their national interests.

In case you hadn't noticed, the ROC is now a fully-paid up member of the EU club with all the benefits and influence that brings. It has an arsenal of EU legislation supporting its positions. So the EU dog is now firmly following the lead of its Greek masters. And there's not a damn thing the Turks can do. So the Turkish puppy had better start doing what its told to. Otherwise it'll find itself out in the cold.

This dirty Hoare needs to understand that the EU dog has no choice, because the Cypriot tail is wedged right up its backside – and it's going to keep on wagging till the stench has gone.

By the way, insan.... happy new year 2008!

It's been one and a half year Hoare written that article and in my opinion it is still valid. I numerous times emphisized almost the same or similar thoughts on this forum. Time is approaching for Greece to face with the realities and stop behaving as King of the region. Greece should take into account the interests of all members of Western Allince; including Turkey. Greece's strings r still in hands of US as a trump card against Turkey's Middle East and Far East cooperation with US. On the other hand if Turkey make a good deal that satisfactory for both US and herself; will get a very good trump card to push a solution in frame of Turkish solution thesis.

The job of western alliance in Balkans has almost finished. Greece almost has no more trump cards to play and push a solution in frame of Greek solution thesis.

That's my 100 cents. :wink:

That's not worth 100 cents. Can I have a refund?
