Algeria-Greece Relations (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Algerian-Greek relations date back for more than 2000 years. Diplomatic relations have been solid since Algeria's first years of independence. Greece maintains an embassy in Algiers, and Algeria is represented in Greece by its embassy in Athens. Trade between Greece and Algeria is increasing, with imports of natural gas from Algeria an important factor. There have been problems with illegal immigration from Algeria to Greece in recent years, and with Algerian trafficking of Sub Saharan Africans seeking to enter the European Union. The first recorded contacts between Greeks and Algerians were struggles in the 5th century BC between the Phoenecians, who had settled in what is now Tunisia and Algeria with their capital at Carthage, and the Greek colony of Syracuse in Sicily.
