It turns out that Greece is one independent State of Turkey because the arms and money was put by foreing countries, is that Greece is not a country economically self-sufficient always has depended of alliances and foreign money to keep her borders, for example after the World War it needed the money from the U.S. to get out of their poverty. It depends of the tourism, foreigners are their primary source of income, it currently is in bankruptcy and needs foreign money to keep going, and sorry to say this, I hope that does not hurt, but what the newspapers say, Greece is the country that has provided less money to the European Union and has received more money. I have a Greek friend that when he speaks of his country, always starts saying it's a autosufciente country, he speaks of blood theories that without the euro, without being part of international organizations, they would be as Monaco, however, for that Greece would be one country self-sufficient it would be located in Central Europe, above the former Yugoslavia, and away from Asian.
