EDITORIAL

Democracy must meet the challenge The decision by the parliamentary committee on transparency confirmed the famous aphorism by American journalist Richard Harkness: «What is a committee? A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary.» The initiative by New Democracy deputies to call it quits on the investigation into the mobile eavesdropping case gives Parliament a bad name.

COMMENTARY

Untimely visit Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul is expected to visit Athens on December 7-8 after an invitation by his Greek counterpart Dora Bakoyannis. However, it's hard to see the point of the visit. Bakoyannis obviously deems it would be wise to disengage progress in Greek-Turkish ties from the crisis in Ankara's relations with the EU, caused by its failure to meet its commitments to EU member Cyprus.
