Biden’s use of the G-word furthers Turkey’s isolation Biden’s use of the G-word furthers Turkey’s isolation While not a game-changer, the U.S. president’s use of the word “genocide” on Armenian Remembrance Day further destabilizes whatever is left of Ankara’s soft power.

In the popular imagination, the blonde Nordic saviour was Russia and it was to Russia, that Greeks looked for deliverance. Sure, the western world may admire Greece’s classical heritage and express the pious hope that a renascent nation would espouse the democratic and other ideals so revered by the West, yet it was from Orthodoxy that the vast majority of pre-Revolution Greeks derived their cultural identity and value system. As such, Russian philhellenism, which encompassed both the classical and Byzantine facets of the Greek experience was much more nuanced and balanced. ....
