Arms race with Turkey bankrupted Greece.

They were NATO member and EU member. Why the hell they needed so much military for such a small country?

Paranoia and illusions of reviving the Byzantine glory.

no various islands right next to turkey, greece is only to blame for buying western weapons who are much more expensive than russian weapons, they should have built their own military industrial complex cooperating with russia and not with germany who sell expensive junk.

When you are in NATO, you are pressured to buy NATO equipment.

Greeks are fully responsible for the invasion of Cyprus, there wouldnt be a invasion if they didnt tried to annex Cyprus and massacred Turks there.
So stop trying to show us as the aggressors when infact the Greeks started all this, they dont need to cry about their own stupidness.

I thought they gave up that illusion during ww1. They still wanted Byzantine empire until not long ago? I know Greek generals met with pkk but I didn't know they had those ambitions.

Tax evation was the cause. Germany calculated if Greeks didn't evade paying tax. They would have a surpluss. I'm not sure if you understand these difficult words.

Look at the pressure that Turkey is under as it chose the Chinese HQ-9 SAM.

Turkey is able to resist the pressure as it is a far larger and richer country than Greece.

It's the Orthodox connection. Russians view themselves through history as the saviors of orthodox and slavic people and even Europeans against the invading muslim hordes. I was reading Dostoevsky and there was a lot of racist stuff in there against the Turks who were portrayed as child murderer barbarians. I think the Balkans also like Russia.

Yes,the Balkans (Greece,Serbia,Bulgaria) likes Russia.We don't as we got only suffering from Russia.Back to the greeks ,they had this obsession to turn everybody into a greek even if they weren;t and this happenned with the aromanian vlachs.Few of them even speak their mother tongue today and even fewer admit that they're not greeks unlike those who fled to Romania in the early 1900's and managed to keep it all alive.That's the result of their villages being burned and their population massacred by greek nationalists.And aromanians truly are "my cousins".
