The January 2008 visit by Greece Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis to Turkey. the first such official visit in 49 years. was a welcome development in these countries efforts to resolve their differences. Since the tragic attacks on the United States on 9/11. Greece has remained a steadfast ally in the fight against violent extremism. Plagued for many years by domestic acts of terror. Greece knows only too well the financial. mental. and physical toll that terrorism can wreak on a nation. In closing. it is also important to highlight the rich contributions that Greek immigrants and their descendants have made to the United States. I know this firsthand. representing a great number in the County of Queens. New York.
