The current situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is an exceptionally volatile mix of high-end geostrategic stakes.

What is the evolution of relations between Greece and Turkey, and what this latest episode of escalation means for them.

At the heart of most of the recent conflicts in the Eastern Mediterranean lies one issue: the unresolved problem of border drawing in the waters surrounding the Turkish coasts and the myriad of Greek archipelagos.

In this fourth part of our Eastern Mediterranean series, we focuse on the complex history and regulations that have so far led to a stalemate in the process of defining maritime borders between Greece and Turkey.

In the last chapter of our series, Dr. Rıza Türmen sheds light on Turkey's arguments about the border conflicts and shares his proposals for the settlement of the disputes.
