Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of the world's roughly 300 million Greek Orthodox Christians, is planning to visit Australia later this year. 

The visit, according to Australian Archbishop Makarios, is part of a series of celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit occupied northern Cyprus Thursday to commemorate the 49th anniversary of Turkey's invasion of the island.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is scheduled to attend an event on Friday to discuss the three-year progress of the Hellenic Development Bank (HDB) and its future plans. The event will take place at 10.00 in the morning.

Prior to the 1976 US presidential election excessive expectations were cultivated among Greeks regarding the expected election of Jimmy Carter.

The candidate was depicted as a philhellene and much was invested in his electoral victory.
