Some of us have already dealt with it, a very long time ago.

Greece and Turkey - Banana Brothers.
3rd rate shitholes the Republic of Cyprus could do without.

For your information, the Greek GDP is 250% higher than that of Turkey per capita.

The reason why I say Greece is third world is because it needs urgent reform in many areas but I don't want to see Greece on its knees for the next 5 decades in achieving these reforms. There are many things in Greece which require change.

But it is leaps and bounds better than Turkey.

Yes, good, well done, Max. :D And I've also suggested to them to donate the money to Greece even if they don't make their target - I don't want it returned (neither do I want the *item*).

Good luck. :D


New campaign, and he listened: :D

I have launched this campaign, with flexible funding, so that any and all money raised can be invested to help the people of Greece. I realise now I should have done this on the first one - I can only apologise.

No it is not.

Even on 2014 figures Greece's GDP per capita was about 32% higher than Turkeys. You can be pretty sure that gap has only decreased since 2014.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita

Using the IMF 2014 figures.

Greece 25,859
Turkey 19,610 (19610 * 1.32 = 25885.2)

Whilst GR! gently weeps, Greece lives to fight another day ....

The euro family has been exposed as a loan sharking conglomerate that cares nothing for democracy. This family is abusive. This “bailout”, which will be sold as being a cruel-to-be-kind deal is nothing of the sort. It is simply being cruel to be cruel.

Congratulations to Tsipras for pulling off some amazing negotiations against some of the strongest and cruelest opposition ever seen! :)

The most noteworthy triumphs for Tsipras:

Tick 1

Up to €50bn (£35bn) worth of Greek assets will be transferred to a new fund, which will contribute to the recapitalisation of Greek banks. The fund will be based in Athens, not Luxembourg as the Germans had originally demanded.

The location of the fund was a key sticking point in the marathon overnight talks. Transferring the assets out of Greece would have meant “liquidity asphyxiation”, said the Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras.


Tick 2

Debt restructuring
Greece has been promised discussions on restructuring its debts. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, said the Eurogroup was ready to consider extending the maturity on Greek loans. There is now no need for a Plan B, she added.
