I don't think Greeks will ever love the Turks or vice versa. Recently Greek pensioner Minas Karatsoglu, 74, suing to stop a Swedish dairy from using his image to promote its yoghurts stated that in principle, he wasn't against his face adorning the cartons – although he was shocked to get a call from a friend informing him it had happened. It was more, he said, that the yoghurt was branded "Turkish" and by inference the self-styled patriot from Delphi was "baptised" Turkish, too.
Mr Karatsoglu lawers said "For my client that was perhaps the biggest insult, they were trying to convince consumers that the product was made according to a genuine Turkish recipe with a Greek man in Greek dress adorning it".
