Interesting, but it sounds like 100% hot air. It would be nice, though, if this had an effect on the Greek Cypriot government's willingness to come to an agreement with the North, and vice versa. In danger of coming across racist: contemporary Greek culture, compared to Turkish, seems like Palestinian compared to Israeli. I see many parallels. The Greek always feel superior yet unjustly disenfranchised by their former colonial masters from Istanbul - despite the fact that the Osman empire ended in 1918 already... they seem to have cultivated an attitude of perpetual victimhood, in Greece. It unites the EU with Turkey, this Greek problem - albeit in different faces...
tl;dr

The difference is that the Falklands are not part of Argentina and are inhabited by Brits and sheep not Argentinians and cattle. |
