Europe’s secret fault lines
Why is Northern Cyprus Turkish and Southern Cyprus (Greek) European? Why is Malta European when it is just a couple of hundred kilometers from North Africa? Both Cyprus and Malta lie at 35 degrees Latitude… which is closer to the ‘Middle East’ than ‘Europe’. Why is Finland referred to as a Scandinavian country and not as an Eastern European country? It does not share the Germanic-origin languages as its Nordic neighbours. And a direct Helsinki-Delhi flight is just 6 hours when a Delhi-Munich flight is at least 8 hours.
