I'm trying to interpret the point of the order of the flags. I think it's kind of looped, so US/China are next to each other here, which leaves most of the rest as natural pairs. Israel/Palestine, Ukraine/Russia. But do Greece and Turkey have some beef I'm not familiar with? Because that one still confuses me.
Yeah, I think they have a bit of the "two cultures with a lot of intermingling who both claim they invented XYZ and used to fight about borders" thing going on.
They both claim sovereignty over the whole of Cyprus and both control a portion of it, IIRC.
Of course the Greeks and Turks hate each other. Some Greeks are still salty over the Ottoman Empire. You can tell this poster never listened to the soothing rants of Stavros "The Mind" Halkias.
