Greek PM preparing for historic trip to Turkey

Preparations are almost complete for Greek prime minister Costas Karamanlis to make the first state trip to Turkey in nearly 50 years. Karamanlis will travel in one of a thousand ships, and plans to call on his opposite number Recep Tayyip Erdogan, bearing the gift of a large wooden statue. Frosty relations between the two states date back to a dispute over some chick called Helen.
