Aegean dispute
The Aegean dispute is a set of interrelated controversies between Greece and Turkey over sovereignty and related rights in the region of the Aegean Sea. This set of conflicts has strongly affected Greek-Turkish relations since the 1970s, and has twice led to crises coming close to the outbreak of military hostilities, in 1987 and in early 1996. The issues in the Aegean fall into several categories:The delimitation of territorial waters
The delimitation of national airspace
The delimitation of exclusive economic zones (EEZ) and the use of the continental shelf
The role of flight information regions (FIR) for the control of military flight activity
The issue of the demilitarized status assigned to some of the Greek islands in the region
Turkish claims of "grey zones" of undetermined sovereignty over a number of islets, most notably the islets of Imia
