| - Hi everybody! I think, we have really lot more in common than just words; so it could be very interesting to know each other more detailed. I mean Hellas and Anatolia. What I\'m trying to say is, how about a thread in which we can learn what we have in common other than words?? I think it would be very helpful to break all prejudices. | |
