Has anybody read the latest news, that a Greek lobby group are suing the Turkish government in the American courts for $400Billion over the land and people displacement issues.

You can read the full story in the London Daily News.

This should start the fur flying.

I'd been interested in your view

I read this earlier in the week. The author of the article said that the case would not succeed.

He should take out a lawsuit for $500 billion, and if they asked "are you joking?" he could answer "well you started it!"

So Mr Turk, now youv'e lost this lawsuit we, the US have to inforce it and collect $400billion. How would you like to pay, Mastercard or Amex?

Oh and by the way, is it OK if we continue to base all our nukes and planes and guys at Incirlak? Oh also we need a couple of Nuclear Carriers to pop through your waters next week is that OK fellow NATO buddy?
