In the contemporary (as of 2004) diplomatic and geopolitical contest, the Aegean Crisis is a term coined by Greek governments roughly from the beginning of the Cyprus dispute in the 1970s up to the present day and referring to a series of, for the most part, unresolved, highly controversial and delicate diplomatic issues with the state of Turkey regarding matters such as:

  • The presence or less of Grey Zones in the Aegean Sea.
  • Sovereignity problems over many islands of the Aegean Sea.
  • Airspace violations and unauthorized Naval exercises in the Greek parts of the Aegean by part of the Turkish military almost on a daily basis starting from the 80's, as well as other types of provocations. Note: The Turkish side generally either claims that are no violations (preferring the euphemism "routine flights" or "exercises in no man's land") or that before classifying a violation as such or not, the aforementioned "Grey Zone" and sovereignity issues should be resolved first, or else the intepretation of a "routine flight" as a "violation" or viceversa would merely be a Greek misperception.
  • Diplomatic status of the island of Cyprus and all the connected problems.Note: Although Cyprus is not located in the Aegean Sea, the quantity and nature of the geostrategical operations Turkey conducts in the Aegean Sea are usually chronologically correlated and concurrent with developments and actions regarding the Cyprus dispute, such as the Annan Plan for Cyprus etc.
