    Default Re: Are Greece and Turkey setting fires to each others forests?

    I forgot to mention their possible reason for setting fires to forests. Both Turkey and Greece have a good deal of income from tourism and they are rivals in this sector. Setting fires to forests near touristic areas is a good way to sabotage the other sides tourism.

    But in my opinion, what makes this more than a half-baked conspiracy theory is the article written by the columnist I told in my first post. On this article, the Turkish intelligence agent Sabah Ketene clearly states that he has set fires to forests in a neighbour country as payback for them setting fires to Turkish forests.

    I know most of you can't understand Turkish, but here is the article:
