Summary/Abstract: "In the 175 years that passed since the foundation of their state, the Greeks could not decide if they wanted to belong to the Balkans or to Europe. When Europe’s great powers corded their throats, they showed solidarity to the other Balkans countries. On the other hand, they flaunted themselves as Europe’s founding fathers when they were told that Greece was the cradle of European culture and democracy." Petros Markaris
