I wonder if this has to do with the recent elections in Greece?
I’ve read that Putin has offered “loans” (bribes?) to Greece’s new commie government in order to ease the pain of the economic yoke that they think is being yanked by Germany/EU.
Cyprus (the part that’s not a puppet-state of Turkey) still harbors dreams of “enosis” with Greece, and maybe this is part of that new friendliness that the Greeks are showing to Russia, and a big FU to the EU? Maybe a little poking in the eye of Turkey too.
Likely drawing too many lines, but anyway it’s just a thought.
Are we really sure where Turkey’s loyalties will lie when the Kurds demand their own nation?
Can this be related?
Cyprus + Greece = Greek Orthodox
Greek Orthodox Churches are united in communion with each other, and with the other Eastern Orthodox Churches. The Eastern Orthodox hold a common doctrine and a common form of worship, and they see themselves not as separate Churches but as administrative units of one single Church.
