Greek fires: The reconstruction

The fires are over but help is even more needed than before: some 200 000 hectares of forest and farmyards have been destroyed and 130 villages disappeared. The EU will release 600 million euros for reconstruction in Greece; 200 million euros from the EU Solidarity Fund and additional 400 million from regional funds.

Best of luck to the Greek people.

It's now time tough that Greek politician's finally act so that such a disaster will be unlikely to happen again.

Turkish deputy reveals: 'Grey Wolves' are behind arson fires in Greece

Arm the Spirit, 1 December 1996

A Turkish deputy from Tansu Ciller's True Path Party (DYP) yesterday revealed that Turkish paramilitary organizations are responsible for arson fires in Greece's islands while, at the same time, an article published in the pro-government Turkish daily "Yeni Safak" provocatively boasted in its title: "We Burned Rhodes."
