		Then, the argument goes, Greece is rarely mentioned in official American documents dealing with Middle Eastern themes and it is not enlisted in America's recent flamboyant initiative on the "Greater Middle East".
		As a result of their pro-Arab stance, Greece and Cyprus never really seriously suffered from the Arab oil embargoes of 1973 (in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur war) and 1979 (in the aftermath of the Iranian revolution).
