YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!

ARE GREECE'S FORTUNES ABOUT TO CHANGE?

Or as the Greeks say: "tha hestoume sto taliro"

Watch this video and you will be impressed.

Partial transcript

Kalarritis: What is your opinion about the deposits in the South of Crete?

Zelilis:  As announced by EDEY there are 40 or 50 reefs of which half are in the EXXON fields and half in the CHEVRON fields which means we could have 40 or 50 ZOR equivalent fields. My estimate is that the deposits are huge, I think they will be the largest deposits in the world and things will change for Greece.

Kalarritis: 40, 50 ZOR???

Zelilis: Yes

Kalarritis: The is nowhere else such large concentration of hydrocarbons.

Zelilis: For sure. This Mediterranean mountain produces hydrocarbons continuously. I think this Mountain produces oil too.

Kalarritis: This is very impressive. Now everything changes.

Zelilis: Of course. That's why there are delays. Because some are pressing to stop the exploration; once this is achieved Greece will not need any energy imports; it will only export. It will get a geostrategic advantage and it will become a strong power.

THE DEATH OF THE TURKISH-LIBYAN ACCORD

 TURKISH-LIBYAN ACCORD YOK

Or how the Turkish "Blue Homeland" is negated

As can be seen on the map, the announcement of the exploration blocks by Greece directly overlaps the Brown line of the Turko-Libyan accord. With Chevron interested in these fields it becomes apparent that the future explorations will negate the illogical and absurd position of Turkey on matters of EEZ. Of course it remains to seen if Turkey will create problems for any explorers.

LET'S LEARN FROM HISTORY

HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION IN GREECE

The history of the decision to facilitate rights to Exxon and Chevron

The Maniatis law specified the use of the middle line for EEZs  disputed or not agreed yet between two nations.

NEWS FLASH

GREEK GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED SEA BLOCKS FOR EXPLORATION SOUTH/SOUTH EAST OF CRETE

In a surprise move Greece has just announced the availability of field blocks for exploration South and South East of Crete. These are fields for which Chevron has shown an interest after their involvement in the Peloponnese fields.
Things seem to be moving for energy production in Greece.

QUIET AND UNDERSTATED POLITICS WIN THE DAY






HOW IS GREECE BALANCING THE BOOKS ON INTERNATIONAL TRADING?

TRADE BALANCE GREECE TO THE WORLD

The following table shows the trade balance of Greece with its most important partners.  It is evident that the country has a major trade deficit with most of the trading countries. One can see where the biggest deficits are shown with bold letters. 

One of the most offending imports is Petroleum. It is also evident that although Medicines are both imports and exports the balance between them is negative. The question is what must Greece do to level its total dependency on imported goods.

             Is it time it starts taking producing energy seriously?

IS UNESCO FAIR?



Below, a more legible form of the two emails.
 

Dear Sir/Madam,
It was with dismay that I read your article on curricula collection as, under CYPRUS, it showed an unacceptable map of the sovereign country of Cyprus with part of it missing!
I can understand that the author may have wanted to show that collected results only related to the free part of this invaded country. There are, however, other ways to represent this is grossly misrepresenting map.

With thanks for your attention.

Dear Mr.----------

Many thanks for letting us know! As we already mentioned to Ms. ----------, we will make sure the map and any other inaccurate information about Cyprus are taken down right away. Unfortunately, we were not aware of those files, prepared long time ago, as we are working on a new website. 


Thanks again and very sorry about that.
