The Turkish prime minister arrives in Athens on Friday for two days of talks aimed at improving relations with its long-time adversary.

While the talk is of increased harmony, the countries engage in often hostile encounters on the Aegean Sea, which separates the two.

Recently, Greece has become more concerned that Turkey will take advantage of its neighbour's financial crisis to make territorial gains.

Both nations buy a bunch of arms from Britain, obviously a British jounralist would stress the tension at a time like this. But they missed their chance, the naval contract has already gon to France and the planes to Germany.

This guy's reporting from Greece, what I catch of it on the world service, is rathr strange.
