Greek priest crawls to Turkey for peace

He swam 6,5 miles between Greek and Turkish shores. He was tugged by a coast guard boat and two divers for security reasons during the sea journey which started at Skamia port of the
island. Greek priest was greeted with flowers on the shore. "I wanted to contribute in developping friendship between Greece and Turkey." told the priest of Mesotopos village speaking through an interpreter. "Do not let anything seperate us" cried as waving Turkish and Greek flags in his hands.
A provincial official gave him a bunch of flower in the name of developping friendship between two shore of Agean Sea as saying we must forget all what was happened in yesterday.
The priest said he hoped Turkey would be soon integrated to European Union with support of Greece. He left for Lesbon island in a boat, called "Diver", after a short rest.
