Harilaos Florakis dies

EDITORIAL

Convergence The recent meeting between Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and US President George W. Bush at the White House carries special importance to Athens. This is not because there was some outstanding issue awaiting resolution during the high-level meeting, but rather because the event provided a symbolic confirmation that Greek-US ties are at a high point and that prospects for close cooperation on unresolved regional issues look good.

COMMENTARY

A strategic partnership? Cultivating excessive expectations is a bad habit when it comes to foreign policy. And, yes, diplomatic niceties about «strategic partnerships,» such as those voiced during the recent meeting between Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and US President George W. Bush, are welcome but should not be taken at face value.
