TURKEY: KARAMANLIS, AL BASHIR AND ALLIANCES OF CIVILIZATIONS
A visit to Turkey for a Greek prime minister must have been the most troublesome. In fact Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis was barely able to make the visit that had been announced in 2005. Or since 1959, when Greece's legendary politician and uncle of Costas, Constantine Karamanlis visited Turkey officially in the aftermath of the Sept. 6-7, 1955 pogrom, a rather tense period began. Therefore this official visit was a great success by itself, just because it happened. In fact, no other progress was made during the proceedings.

DARFUR: BANNING DIGNITY
I know, I know, I’m going to be my usual cynical self but it was about time for the General Secretary of the United Nations to remember why he’s actually there and move from the fancy New York receptions to Darfur. Really, has anybody noticed that the UN has a new secretary? And what has he done to excuse his position in the last few months?10:24 Publié dans ENGLISH EDITION, RELATIONS EXTERIEURES, RELATIONS INTER INSTITUTIONNELLES, THANOS KALAMIDAS | Lien permanent | Commentaires (0) | Envoyer cette note | Tags : politics, Darfur, UN, Thanos Kamalidas, europeus.org
