Greek Deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos has accused Germany of failing to compensate Greece for Nazi occupation during World War II.



Mr Pangalos made the remarks during a wide-ranging BBC interview about Greece's financial difficulties.



Don't you just love the EU!

Hmmmmmm, Greece short of money, NOW bring up the matter of war compensation, should this have not been chased through the courts many many years ago, or am I just being a cynic

Them bloody Italians .If them Romans had paid reparations for occupying Britannia us Angles wouldnt have such a huge national debt.



Greeks, never did a nation start off so well,and so soon return to obscurity and backwardness.

300 Spartans,democracy etc, then a thousand years of downhill.

It is just a thought, but will this then in turn affect the EU opinion on the cyprus problem?

to late for that now msg5, the greeks are clutching at straws , economy is collapsing all around it , theyre trying to blame anyone and everyone , eu will never admit it made a mistake so will probably prop up theyre economy , germanys people might have some weight to throw behind turkeys entrance now , this will blow up like a big baloon in the faces of the greeks ? seems wall street had some dealings to gain them entrance into eu also some major banks are under investigation
