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:

Note: The Greek side claims 10 miles of air space and categorizes flights over this space as violations. The Turkish side claims that the flights are over international air space and rejects the notion of violations.

  • Diplomatic status of the island of Cyprus and all the connected problems.Note: Although Cyprus is not located in the Aegean Sea, the Greek side claims that 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. The Turkish side claims that these two problems are not connected.
