		<description><![CDATA[Τον Δεκέμβριο του 2007, έγραψα ένα άρθρο με τίτλο &#8216;Οπτικοακουστικό Αρχείο ΕΡΤ&#8217;. Ο λόγος ήταν η τεράστια σημασία του εγχειρήματος, τόσο για εμένα, όσο και για εκατομμύρια συμπολίτες μου αλλά και για την ευρύτερη σημασία της διάθεσης του αρχείου, μιας μοναδικής κληρονομιάς και μέρος της ιστορίας αυτού του τόπου. Παρά τη θετική άποψή μου για [...]]]></description>

Even back when I visited it, the Park was in a dismal state, badly preserved, run down &#8212; definitely far from what it should be, given both the fact that sixty years ago [...]]]></description>

He used to read it during the long boring lecture days at Imperial and over the course of a couple of weeks I got to catch a glimpse of the interweaved stories Stephenson [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Missile Defence is a controversial issue that has troubled diplomats and military leaders alike for more than forty years. Ever since Ronald Reagan proposed the Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI), later nicknamed &#8216;Star Wars&#8217; after the synonymous film and due to its alleged inclusion of Space-Based Interceptors, Missile Defence has largely become a popular term, even [...]]]></description>

Follow the link for the 90 minute PBS documentary from 1987 that deals with how the U.S. sold weapons to Iran, despite its embargo and used the funds to support the &#8216;contras&#8217; [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve written before about its historical value and how it has been manipulated, both by Turkey and its commercial partners to improve relations at the expense of historical fact.
