EDITROIAL

Daring to tackle civil unrest The debate in the Greek Parliament yesterday concerning the issue of how to tackle civil unrest was both extremely useful as well as quite revealing. Both of the country's major left-wing parties - Synaspismos and the Communists - showed once again that they are out of touch with the reality on the ground, meaning the security situation on the streets of Athens and in Greece's other major urban centers.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Cold shoulder, hot opportunity Judging by the disappointment of Greece's political and diplomatic establishment, President Barack Obama's visit to Turkey looks like a diplomatic triumph for our neighbor and perennial rival. It is obvious that the fixed relationship between Washington, Athens and Ankara - exemplified by the 7:10 ratio agreement, which meant that for every 10 dollars in aid that Turkey got, Greece would get 7 - has been broken.
