Greek sues over photo on 'Turkish' yoghurt in Sweden A Greek man is suing a dairy in Sweden for 50 million kronor ($6.9m; £4.5m) for using his image on pots of Turkish-style yoghurt, Swedish media report. The man only found out his moustachioed face featured on the containers of Turkisk Yoghurt made by Lindahls when a friend living in Stockholm told him. The image still features on the Lindahls website despite the legal action Athanasios Varzanakos told Swedish Radio his friend "was annoyed and asked how it was possible" when informed. The dairy said it bought the photograph in good faith from an image library. Chief executive Anders Lindahl said it had come as a shock when the Greek man lodged a 40-page legal complaint saying that the company had used a misleading image because he had no links with Turkey. "We bought it from a photo agency so we assumed that everything was in order," Mr Lindahl told the AFP news agency. The image remains on the Lindahls website despite the legal action. Relations between Greece and Turkey have long been strained and at times have turned into outright hostility. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8612575.stm

Donnie..... when did you become a pigdog? You have a fascination with mens asses..... and your misogynistic attitude leads me to believe you might be of the fudgepacking type. Now if I have completely misunderstood you... I apologize.

Everone could be sensitive on certain issues. Greeks have their own. In Turkey, calling someone Greek (Rum or Yunan) is not an insut. However, many people would think it is insulting if one calls the other as " an Armenian convert", which is like calling someone as a secret agent or provocateur. That probably stems from existence of large number of Armenians who converted to Islam during the WWI. If someone calls me Greek or Armenian, I do not get insulted. However, this is me after all.
