ABSTRACT
The teachings of Christ and his Church, which constitute for people the basis of a just order in the lives of individuals, families, states and peoples, were first transmitted to the world in the Greek language. The bond which unites the peoples of the European continent rests upon two principles: classical philosophy and Christianity. The inclusion of Greece in the North Atlantic Pact is an extremely valuable extension of the Atlantic community. There is no doubt that the Ankara Treaty adds to the security of the entire West. The Federal Government wants to do all in its power to foster these cultural interchanges, so that the two nations will become even better acquainted with one another and will mutually enrich each other’s cultural life. Cordial relations between the Turkish and the German people began long ago, and the many decades of common work and common experiences have only strengthened them.
