By Arshad Mohammed ATHENS (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry praised Greece on Friday for embracing strategic energy projects that will lessen Europe's dependence on Russian gas and voiced support for its economic reforms as it grapples with debt and refugee crises. Kerry addressed the economic, security and migration challenges facing Greece during a half-day visit in which he made time to stuff a backpack with toys, clothes and school supplies for refugee children fleeing Syria's civil war. "The United States is enthusiastic about Greece's growing role in European energy security, which is in the end a major strategic interest that we share," he said at a news conference with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias.
