The Greek and Turkish hatred of each other is still present today. A few years ago I was in a taxi from Rhodes airport to my holiday home. Across a narrow channel of water I could see a land mass just a few miles away.
I asked the taxi driver what it was? In barely intelligible English he said "istookey" or something like, then he wound down his window, spat out of his window and said " No, is F***ng Tookey" ....then I knew what he meantHe then went on to complain about America selling weapons and Jets to Tookey
