Turkey-Greece Crisis of Trust Between the Two Communities and the Leaders

Title in Latvian: "Turcijas un Grieķijas uzticības krīze starp abām kopienām un līderiem"

Neoclassical realism explains how a country’s decisions are influenced not only by international pressures, but also by its leaders, institutions, and domestic politics

The key findings of Turkey-Greece relations are built not only by international pressures, but also by domestic politics, national interests, institutions, and leaders’ perceptions. Long-standing disputes in the Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus, and maritime areas continue to create distrust. However, cooperation is possible through dialogue, confidence-building, and practical initiatives.
