geographically i cant see how greece helps russia, turkey yes but not greece. Turkey are already eu applicants
My thought is that the threat of talks with russia would scare the eu into giving the new govt of greece what they wanted. I think the eu collectivly is more concerned about what after. Italy and spain are overly exposed to greek debt, let the greeks off means letting pigs off too. Dont see it happening. Granted letting them exit has implications for germany too, but i feel the lesser evil for them is to let it go. But i expect greece to do a deal with no write off, else why 'sack' their financial outspoken bloke
