Greece has been in the tourism business for a very long time (thousands of years) but the new conservative Greek government has only had a little time to reform and reshape the years of mismanagement under the socialists. True it's much easier for two fairly heavily autocratic systems to make agreements such as Turkey and Russia have done than the free wheeling democracy of Greece.
I am not making excuses for Greece...their national tourism board has a fairly haphazard approach to tourism...As for Russians and Turks signing agreements...this is nothing new...after all both despots -Ataturk and Lenin were buddies. Then it was ideology, and now it's financial agreements.
Speaking about possible ways to remove anxiety in Russia's relations with Cyprus, Mr. Putin said that apart from actively developing relations between Moscow and Ankara, "there is, above all, one way which to remove all types of anxiety: it is to develop our relations with Greece as actively. Then, all anxiety will disappear." - December 23 (RIA Novosti)
