Opis

Greece and Turkey are the two lungs of a living body whose trachea is made up of the Aegean Sea. Since Antiquity, since the Trojan War, this body has struggled for its survival which can only be accomplished by preserving the unity of the two shores of this closed sea, at the same time as a passage, towards the Mediterranean, of the Black Sea to Crete, across the Straits. Its planetary strategic importance is such that for thousands of years, both inside and outside this geopolitical formation, the powers have been struggling to gain control over it, a struggle that history has called the Question of 'East.
