EDITORIAL

An annual crime Let's hope this year's forest fires on Mt Pendeli do not claim any lives. The only hope we can nurture is that human lives will be saved, as it is certain that forests will be lost. This has been borne out by recent history - each year hundreds of hectares of forestland are burnt to ashes - and is virtually guaranteed by the state tolerance of mercenary arsonists. Where there was once forestland, countless new homes have sprung up. Beautiful slopes that once belonged to all are being privatized at a breathtaking rate.

COMMENTARY

The Turkish crisis The clash between Islamists and supporters of the secular regime of Kemal Ataturk that is currently shaking Turkey reflects a dangerous structural rift that has never before manifested itself on such a large scale and which, apart from destabilizing Turkey, is bound to increase Ankara's political hostility toward Greece and Cyprus.
