Greek-Turkish relations have consistently shaped Greek foreign policy since the birth of the modern Greek state. This book fills an important gap of many years in the relevant scientific literature. It systematically presents all aspects of Greek-Turkish relations from the aftermath of the Asia Minor Catastrophe in 1922 until the mid-2010s.

Starting with the fate of prisoners after 1922, the book analyzes the Lausanne Conference and Treaty, the period of Greek-Turkish rapprochement during the interwar period, the Cyprus issue from 1955 until the management after the rejection of the Annan Plan, the dispute over the Aegean continental shelf, the territorial waters, the airspace and the Athens FIR, the legal status as well as the treatment of the Muslim minority in Thrace and the Greek minority in Turkey, and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. It also addresses current issues such as the gas fields of Cyprus, hydrocarbon pipelines, the EEZ, and Kastellorizo.

The book goes beyond the presentation of facts. It analyzes the issues, raises questions, and presents specific proposals for the course of Greek foreign policy towards Turkey.
