Amid global uncertainty, Greek worries stalk markets _ again
– Amid global uncertainty, Greek worries stalk markets _ again:
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Nothing is inevitable in financial markets — except perhaps the return of Greece as a source of concern. More than seven years since Greece’s sky-high debts first unnerved investors and stoked speculation of the end of the euro currency, the country is back in the spotlight for the same reasons.

Survey: Majority of Europeans In 10 Countries Want Halt to Muslim Migration
– Survey: Majority of Europeans In 10 Countries Want Halt to Muslim Migration:
A new study on European attitudes toward Muslim migration has revealed that 55 per cent of Europeans in ten different countries want a halt to migration from majority Muslim nations.
The study was carried out by Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and surveyed European attitudes to Muslim migration in the UK, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Poland, Italy, Hungary, France, Austria, and Spain. The 10,000 people surveyed were asked whether they agreed with the statement, “All further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped”.
Apart from Spain (41 per cent) and the UK (47 per cent), a majority in every country wanted a ban on Muslim immigrants. Across all countries, an average of 20 per cent disagreed with the statement, and in no country did the percentage that disagreed surpass 32 per cent.

Turkish AK Party Deputy threatens to “shoot” Greece over Islet dispute
– Turkish AK Party Deputy threatens to “shoot” Greece over Islet dispute:
Tensions are again on the rise in the Aegean Sea, where Greece is increasingly confronted by belligerent language from Turkey asserting its claim over some little rocks sticking out of the Mediterranean. A Member of Parliament of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) yesterday even threatened with violence in retaliation for “games” allegedly played by Athens.
“I am warning Greece: You were saved owing to a cowardly [Turkish] admiral in 1996. Do not play the Kardak game with us. We will shoot you!,” tweeted Hüseyin Kocab?y?k, the AKP deputy from the city of Izmir. Some 21 years ago the two countries almost went to war over the islets, located some seven kilometres from the Turkish peninsula of Bodrum. They are called Imia in Greek and Kardak in Turkish.

– Greek Authorities Probing Three Migrant Deaths On Island Camp:
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek authorities are investigating the deaths of three migrants over the past week in a camp on the eastern Aegean Sea island of Lesbos.

Initial indications suggest they were poisoned by fumes from stoves lit inside the tents to counter bitter winter conditions.

Greece Is Once Again On The Verge Of Collapse
It may – or may not – shock readers to learn that Greece is once again on the verge of collapse.
10-year bond yields shot up and stocks tumbled on Friday, a day after euro zone finance ministers acknowledged the country’s fiscal progress but once again failed to break an impasse with the IMF over the country’s future bailout targets. Early on Friday morning, the greatest Greek nemesis alive, and surely in the afterlife, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said that Greece’s creditors won’t unlock further financial aid to the country unless the government meets its reform promises, which he said it hasn’t done yet.

Greece: Hospitals Have Become “Danger Zones”
– In 7th Year Of Austerity, Greek Hospitals Have Become “Danger Zones”:
It is not a secret and it is not new that public hospitals in Greece collapsed. As Keep TalkingGreece.com notes, the first budget cuts imposed with the first bailout agreement affected the public health. Seven years later, the situation goes from bad to worse in fast speed. The austerity freezing of hiring (1:7) ended up in severe shortages in medical and paramedical personnel. The sharp expenditure cuts deprive hospitals of spare parts and essential material. KTG reported many times in the past about the situation in Greece’s hospitals, the deficiencies in personnel and material, incl bed sheets, the never ending bureaucracy.
Now doctors and workers at the public hospitals mention a new phenomenon: the increasing risk of death due to inner-hospital infections.
Speaking to UK’s Guardian about the Greek public health meltdown, doctors and personnel say that hospitals have become “danger zones”.

Hundreds of migrants arriving on the Greek island of Lesbos have claimed that they came from a “dissolved” migrant camp in north-west Turkey, and Greek port authorities allege the Turkish coastguard that monitors the Aegean Sea border has “disappeared”.

EU To Allow Countries To Start Returning Migrants To Greece In March
– EU To Allow Countries To Start Returning Migrants To Greece In March:
European member states will be able to return migrants to Greece from mid-March 2017, the European Commission has announced, in a bid to unpick recent changes to the bloc’s migration rules.
Under European Union (EU) rules, the first country of entry is responsible for processing the asylum claims of migrants arriving within its borders. But unable to cope with the scale of the migrant crisis last year, Greece simply allowed migrants to pass through.
As more than a million migrants swept northwards internal borders were rapidly closed, effectively trapping the later arrivals in Greece.
The Greek islands are already struggling to accommodate twice as many migrants as they have the capacity for, leading to human rights agencies to warn that the country will not to be able to cope with returnees.
