The Defense Minister of Greece Panos Beglitis and his Israeli counterpart Ehud Barak signed a memorandum on military cooperation in Jerusalem on Sunday, the Greek Ministry of Defense reported.

"Our relations with Israel are not under the influence of the current condition," said Beglitis.

...Greece is paying the price for an earlier bailout by closing its eyes on international law. Talking about one of the oldest civilizations in the world, the cradel of law and democracy. What a pity!
