| Russia promises to make Greece a prospering state in 1 year |
| 2012-10-29 |
| Two years ago, Greece missed the chance to extricate from the crisis with Russia’s help. Nowadays, Russian investments in the country grow and give air to breathe to economies of several regions of Greece, such as the north-east. Russian investors are especially attracted by cheap real estate, tourism and the property that they can buy from the state. “Greece should only give Russia the green light, and the Russian money will come,” said Ivan Savvidi, a businessman and the president of the Association of Greek Public Organizations of Russia said. “If Greece asks Russian business, I can tell you that by October next year, Greece will become a prosperous country,” the BBC quoted Savvidi, a former deputy of the Russian State Duma. “Russia has never turned its back on Greece in a thousand years, and, of course, it will not now,” the official said. According to Savvidi, the Greek government has once missed a historic opportunity to get out of the crisis with Russia’s help. “Two years ago, when George Papandreou (former Prime Minister) met with Vladimir Putin, the Russian side was ready to help, but Athens did not raise the issue,” Savvidi said. |
