Turkey and Europe: Kurd Terrorist Leader Trapped
The odyssey of the Kurd leader Abdullah Ocalan came to an end when the Turkish secret service kidnapped him on February 16th in Nairobi, Kenya. Reaction of the Kurdish minorities spread all over Europe and the Middle East already caused dozens of victims. European politicians showed themselves very concerned about the disorders and the risks of the forthcoming trial, which could end with a death penalty and the execution of the Kurd leader. Meanwhile in Ankara, prime minister Bulent Ecevit has bettered his prospects for the forthcoming elections in April. But after the elections Turkey's leaders would be wise to be lenient with their prominent prisoner.

Elections in Greece: Joining Euro with Simitis
The general elections in Greece have confirmed the government of Costas Simitis. The prime minister's Socialist party PASOK has won an absolute majority, but the Conservative opposition ND has come a lot closer. Under Simitis' leadership Greece has made large progress in many fields. In foreign affairs the relations with Turkey and Macedonia have improved and the country has finally learnt to keep at distance its traditional ally Serbia. Concerning the economy inflation and debt have been reduced, growth has been steady and the stock market has soared. Simitis has reached these results focussing all efforts on the country´s struggle for joining the euro zone, an ambition that could soon be accomplished. Thanks to the prime minister's sober and steady style Greek democracy has finally left behind large part of the embarrassing scandals and muck that characterized the government of his predecessor Andreas Papandreou. Democracy has returned to where it started and it starts looking quite respectable.

I've got a bad case of spring fever, and the advertisement for the "Hocking Outback Trail Adventure" in my Buckeye Trail Association newsletter is definitely making it worse.
