Any hints on why this is significant? Is this a change to current Turko-Greco relations? I guess I am saying this article could use some background info. --SVTCobra 18:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If we had to prepare only world-importance news articles, then we would have around one or two every day. Furthermore, any kind of official meeting of Army Chiefs is important. Any conference of such type could end to significant agreements or disagreements. So, my answer that the article has some kind of regional significance and interest.

I'm sorry. I think you misunderstood me. I was not trying to say that the article should not exist. I was trying to say that it should be explained why patrolling this area by both Turkey and Greece is significant, as in, is it a change to the way things were before? And why should the planes be unarmed? Is this an escallation of hostilities or actually a reconcillitory move? These things were all unclear to me. --SVTCobra 00:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey and Greece are old enemies. You can likely add one wikipediapar explaing thir history. This proposal is meant to sound reconcillitory, but it may just be grand standing. Nyarlathotep 00:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did know as much as them being old enemies. I was clarifying my initial comments (about an article already improved) because Zorba seemed to believe that I thought the article should not be published at all. But there are still questions - why did they have "mock dogfights during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Athens last month?" ... and what territories (islands likely) are disputed (I already know about Cyprus) --SVTCobra 00:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
