Two reasons:
1. Because Greek rebels believed that the government should be run in a Communist-like style, which the USA and NATO were totally against. The USA and NATO believed that democracy was the best type of government system.
2. The Greek rebels were being aided by the Russians, the Americans arch rival at the time

What was the goal of the Truman Doctrine was to?
The Truman Doctrine was a governmental policy to stop the spread of communism in Europe and around the world with military and economic aid. The doctrine received bipartisan support and led to United States intervention in the Greek Civil War, Korea, and Vietnam.
The United states implemented the Truman doctrine by?
One of the most significant outcomes of the Truman Doctrine was the Vietnam War. The Truman Doctrine dictated that communism must be contained at all costs. Had the U.S. not been so terrified of the spread of communism, it would not have tried so hard for so long to defeat the Vietcong army. However, I think the answer you may be looking for is the Greek Civil War. President Truman gave 300 million dollars to the Greek government, to help them fight the communists in their own country. This was done in May 1947, and the Truman Doctrine had been introduced just a few months earlier, in February 1947.

What was the essence of the Truman Doctrine and what was the situation that prompted this statement?
The essence of the Truman doctrine was that the United States would lend aid (money and weapons) to any nation that was being threatened by outside influences. However-the subtext is much more important. The Truman Doctrine essentially declared Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Truman and his advisors believed that no free nation would ever willingly turn Communist. Therefore, any nation that had a successful Communist party meant that it was in the process of being subverted. This ignored the fact that the Soviet Union had a hard time reigning in most other communist leaders. In the words of Truman himself, the doctrine was designed to "scare the hell" out of the American people and keep the US engaged in the rest of the world, rather than return to our traditional isolationist foreign policy. The Doctrine was drafted in response to the Greek Civil War. In 1944, before the end of World War II, the Greek Communists had been at the forefront of the anti-Nazi resistance, while the Greek monarchy had the backing of Adolf Hitler. After Britain pulled out of the Mediterranean, the US stepped in to fill the power vacuum. Truman issued his statement to support the pro-Nazi monarchy. The Greek communists were defeated-but not because of American action. Tito-the communist leader in Yugoslavia, had been allowing the Greek communists to cross into his nation and use it as a base for action. Tito then had a falling-out with Stalin. Tito was afraid Stalin would use the Greek Communists against him, and so shut the border. The Greek Communists were then able to be captured and destroyed.

Who provided economic Aid to Greece and Turkey?
I think you mean the 'Truman Doctrine' ie a speech delivered by President Truman to Congress on March 12 1947 in which Truman pledged the United States to help any nation under threat from subjugation. It was in response to the British informing the Americans that they could no longer support the Greek forces in their civil war against Greek communists. The United States had the choice to abandon that country to its own devices or try and help the Greek Royalist forces with financial aid. Ultimately Truman convinced Congress to help the Greeks. Turkey was included due its proximity to the Soviet Union and the fears that the USSR wanted to overthrow the Turkish government and replace it with a communist one. However Turkey was not experiencing a civil war. Some Americans felt that if Turkey went communist, Greece would too and this would threaten the whole mediterranean area. It was an earlier version of the Domino Theory. The end result was that both Turkey and Greece remained Communist free, though neither were in particularly huge danger. Stalin was not helping Greek communists because he knew the USA would never let them win in Greece and whilst he had demanded access to the Black Sea Straits from Turkey that issue had been solved in 1946.
