This is bad, my Grandfather on my Mother's side (actually from the Ionnina area) took part in the doomed 1922? campaign in Smyrna (on the Greek side) and last year I visited Cappadocia in Turkey where my father's ancestors come from, they were also Greek btw. Most of people in Turkey are actually pretty nice, but the government, and the huge influence of the Turkish army is rather scary. I also am disappointed the EU could not bring about a settlement of the Cyprus question.
