WASHINGTON, DC —The American Hellenic Institute (AHI) hosted the policy seminar “The Greek Economic Crisis: Myth & Reality” featuring a panel of experts who examined various aspects of the topic on April 25, 2012 at the Capital Hilton, Washington, DC. Ambassador Vassilis Kaskarelis, ambassador of Greece to the U.S., provided closing remarks and participated in a Q&A with the audience. “With most of the headlines about Greece focusing on its economy and the impact upon the European Union and financial markets worldwide, we wanted to examine just what the realities of the situation are,” said AHI President Nick Larigakis. “Our expert panelists provided us with their insights and analyses providing us with a better understanding of how and why Greece found itself in the financial position it is in; what exactly is expected of Greece as the recipient of loans from the IMF and the Eurozone; how is Greece’s financial position intertwined with that of other nations; and what—if any—role can the Greek American community play in this complex picture.”

I don't share the optimism of Ambassador Kaskarellis, I see Greece heading out of the EUROZONE and potentially out of the EU. There might come a day when Greeks cross the border to Albania to find jobs.
