Turkey–Greece relations

Turkey–Greece relations are complex, shaped by historical tensions, border disputes, and cultural differences, especially over the Aegean Sea and Cyprus. Both countries are NATO members but have competing claims over territorial sovereignty and airspace. Despite periods of cooperation, disagreements often cause diplomatic strains, yet they also engage in dialogues and diplomatic efforts to manage conflicts. Their relationship impacts regional stability, energy exploration, and security, requiring careful diplomacy to balance national interests while maintaining peace and stability in the eastern Mediterranean.
