This is a brief history of Turkish-Greek political disagreements

Turkey and Greece, countries that share not only a land border but also a contentious sea border in the Aegean Sea, have several critical disagreements with each other ranging from the status of the Aegean Sea islands to the Cyprus dispute and others.

Crete, the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, became part of Greece in the late 19th century after a bloody rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. Athens also claimed most of the Aegean Sea islands from the Ottomans with the help of Western powers. At the end of the war, Ankara, the new emerging capital of Turkey, signed the Treaty of Lausanne with Greece and other major powers including Britain, France and Italy, determining its western borders with Athens and partly addressing some of its eastern and southern border issues with Syria, which was under the French mandate, and Iraq, which was under British mandate.

Ankara firmly rejects Greek claims, saying that it would be totally illogical and unfair for any country to accept such a sea border. Cyprus became independent in 1960 as the Republic of Cyprus and three countries, Turkey, Greece, and Britain were made its guarantor states, according to the Zurich and London Agreements.

In July 1974, the Turkish government intervened in the northern part of the island with the intention of protecting the Turkish population after a short-lived Greek-orchestrated coup on the island aimed at union with Greece.

WARNING: TRT WORLD is the propaganda arm of Turkey's authoritarian government Proceed with caution

Greece claims it respects Int Law. It supports PKK, outlawed by UN & EU. Supports warlord Hafter in Libya against the UN Rec Gvt. Supports Armenia an occupying force in Azerbaijan. The truth is Greece is one big liar. It's ONLY Foreign Policy Strategy is to be Anti-Turkey.

The problem is that you are in Greek waters acting like pirates.

Greece oil depend on Turkey, Libya. High tension mediterania sea, Greece frigates must do patrol & alert in their sea border. Is it true?

There’s a short answer: Greece can’t get over history and has a Islamophobic and xenophobic culture.
