Hopefully this will in fact lead to much closer tires between the two nations. I hope that soon there can be closer ties between Jews and the Greek Orthodox Church as a whole.

*ties - now that IS an embarrassing mistake.

For relations to change the Orthodox Christian world needs to tacle their dogmatic midleavil anti Semitism ie stil teaching their children and preaching sermons and selecive New Testament readings that still teach their children and adults that the Jews are guilty of "Deicide" or they will forever stay mired in hate.You can't preach love and hate simaltaneously.

With Turkey's bellicose posturing, working at alliance with Greek Cyprus that includes natural gas exploration seems like a wise idea.
