Abstract

This article considers the nature of Turkish-Greek relations, focusing on the question of how these should be characterized. This is animportant topic not only because there is a lack of a clear definition of the situation between the two countries in the literature, but also because providing a greater clarity of the issues about Turkish-Greek relations can assist in the long-term envisioning of a possible path that the two countries might take in the future. Employing a descriptive analysis, the article shows that a state of conflict rather than cooperation has determined the evolution of relations between Turkey and Greece. This sheds light on the intractable nature of the problems between the two countries, whether in Cyprus, the Aegean Sea, or the Eastern Mediterranean. The article concludes that Turkish-Greek relations are characterized by a historically grounded condition of fragile stability, with permanent tension and possible crisis prevailing, even if conflicts are frozen and war is not foreseen.

土耳其-希腊关系：爱琴海两岸邻国之间脆弱的稳定关系

本文探讨土耳其与希腊关系的性质，重点是如何描述土耳其与希腊关系的问题。这是一个重要的话题，不仅因为文献中缺乏对两国关系的明确定义，还因为进一步明确土耳其与希腊关系的问题有助于从长远角度设想两国未来可能走的道路。文章通过描述性分析表明，冲突而非合作的状态决定了土耳其与希腊之间关系的演变。这揭示了两国之间无论是在塞浦路斯、爱琴海还是东地中海问题上的棘手性质。文章的结论是，土耳其与希腊关系的特点是具有历史基础的脆弱稳定状态，即使冲突被冻结，战争未被预见，但长期的紧张局势和可能的危机依然存在。
