Ambassador to Athens: Greek and American interests are identicalA smile has not left his face since the day he came to Greece last May

U.S. Ambassador George J. Tsunis recently gave an in-depth interview with The National Herald in Athens. Relaxed and cheerful, with a smile on his face, which he said “has not left my face since the day I came to Greece” last May,

Tsunis welcomed the NTH reporter at the Embassy residence in Athens and spoke about, among other things, his impressions of Greece through the eyes of a U.S. official, about Greek-Turkish relations, Russia’s influence in Greece, and, of course, his beloved Platanos.
