    The relations between the two NATO countries are interesting. But what about the notorious solidarity? Expel both of them from the bloc for violation of corporate ethics and violation of face control. laughing

      Duck Orthodox Greeks banned in general, from the word absolutely, to build mosques in the country. That is, there is no place for Muslims in Europe ... An example is very painful

          The NATO members periodically have some kind of grater between the members of the alliance. It may be so conceived, but more reminiscent of confusion and reeling.

    For the first time or something. Now water, then air. NATO, what to take from them. Brotherhood in arms, but somehow suspicious. Oh, I remembered - unconventional.

    That is numb to the Turks!
    Probably without these disputed islands there is no way to build a new Ottoman Empire!
    Greece - not Syria - will find the opportunity to answer for the invasion!

        Syria, alas, will not do without Russia now, and the Greeks, I hope, will find their own forces to defend independence from Turkish aggression.
