EDITORIAL

Greece’s future as an energy hub The construction of a natural gas pipeline that will run beneath the Black Sea linking Russia with Bulgaria, Greece and Italy has far-reaching implications. The construction of the new oil pipeline connecting the Bulgarian Black Sea port of Bourgas with the Greek port of Alexandroupolis as well as of the Turkey-Greece-Italy pipeline has turned Greece into a key player in energy issues.

COMMENTARY

Feeling the heat The heat wave, like all extreme weather conditions, works like a catalyst accentuating a society's virtues and flaws. It provides a measure of state readiness to tackle difficulties, determination to get through the ordeal and a degree of solidarity.

OPINION

Greek, Turk PMs avoid touchy topics The talks between Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of a Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) Organization summit in Istanbul on Monday did not touch on crucial bilateral issues.
