Since you don't know anything about the region except that you like shish ke bab and baklava and are easily deceived by Turkish hypocrisy - your efforts now should concentrate on speaking to a member of the Armenian, Greek or Assyrian ethnicites. They'll certainly be able to stir things up in that mush brain of yours.
I happen to like Greeks, like you. I spent 3 years at Hellinicon A.F.B. before the Greeks told the U.S. to take a hike. Sorry about Cypress, don't screw with the Turks.
I have a story, it's true and I hope it's not wasted. Both Turkey and Greece are NATO countries. The deployment called for F-16's from Greece and Turkey to combat an enemy originating from the mid-east (;). The Turks had to deploy to a Greek island. There was much contention, the Turkish officers selected their best English speakers, surprisingly, many Turks could also speak Greek. Each Turk, officers and enlisted alike, were screened to find the best for the exercise. The Turks were worried, and had classes, about offending their Greek hosts, the history of Greek/Turkish relations, and how to properly maintain themselves as military representatives of their country.
The day of the deployment came, the Turkish aircraft specialists loaded onto C-130's, 20 jets left Turkey...... The Turks and the Greek specialists met, the 20 jets from Turkey arrived, 26 jets from Greece arrived....all rivalries disappeared. The exercise called for a 10-turn-10-turn-15 aircraft, upon arrival. That means that ten F-16's had to be combat ready, with ordnance loaded and in the air, now!!!!When the ten aircraft that had just flown the excersise touched down, ten more F-16's launched, fulled preped and loaded. Then the crap that separates men from boys, 15 F-16's, multi-cultural, off the ramp, no time for maintenance, hang the weapons and FLY. That was day one. By day five the Turks and Greeks weren't worried about Cypress, they were worried about keeping the jets in the air. Each night, when they could get the down time, the Turks poured Raki for their hosts, the Greeks had Ouzo flowing by the gallon. Every mourning the jets flew, through cooperation and team work. When the Turks arrived home, a young Turkish Sgt., who spoke 4 languages said, "We had a great time.....all this hate Greece stuff is made up by politicians........
