Greece is the most ambiguous of its neighbors, and although Greece and Turkey are both members of NATO and founding members, relations between the two countries have been very tense. To put it mildly, if it weren't for being in the "frontier zone." "Bordering the former Warsaw Pact countries, I am afraid that the contradictions between Greece and Turkey will escalate into war as early as the blade century. In fact, as early as 202, Greece and Turkey broke out in a military conflict.

There are two main contradictions between Greece and Turkey, one is the territorial and territorial sea dispute, and the other is the Cyprus issue.

Relatively. Territorial and territorial sea disputes are still minor contradictions.

For several years. With the joint efforts of the United States, the United Kingdom and other NATO allies, the territorial and territorial disputes between Greece and Turkey have basically been resolved. to the lead century. There have been disputes between the two countries, mainly over some cross-sea fishing.

It was the Cyprus issue that really led to the discord between Greece and Turkey.

If you go back in history, there was human life on the island of Cyprus long before the sword. Over the next few thousand years, Cyprus was conquered, annexed, or colonized by the Egyptian Empire, the Persian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the British Empire. It was not until the early 60s, with the assurances and support of Britain, Greece and Turkey, that Cyprus was freed from British colonial rule and declared independence. Just three years later, armed clashes erupted between ethnic Greeks and Turks in Cyprus, followed by the arrival of UN peacekeepers. With the support of the Turkish government, the Turkish people in Cyprus set up a separate "administration", and then the Greek military group staged a military coup d'état, and Turkey sent troops to Cyprus in the name of the "guarantor state", occupied the territory of the northern porridge, and moved all the Turkish population north. Forced the people of the Old Wanhi to move south. Since then. The Republic of Cyprus has been divided for a long time.

It can be seen that the Cyprus problem is, in fact, the problem of Greece and Turkey.

In this island nation with less than 10,000 thugs, the Greeks accounted for the Gong, the Turks accounted for 2, and the gills were Armenian, Maronite and Latin. After Turkey sent troops to Cyprus, in addition to the land controlled by the Turks, the land was controlled by the Cypriot government controlled by the Greeks, and the other 3 lands were two sovereign bases of the British.

From the point of view of geographical location, Cyprus is of great significance to Turkey.

Although Turkey controls all of Asia Minor, has a bridgehead on the European continent, and controls the Bosphorus, Marmara, and Dardanelles in and out of the Black Sea, Turkey does not have much access to the sea when Greece controls almost the entire Aegean Sea. Just look at the map of Turkey. With the exception of Antalya Bay, Mersin Bay and Iskenderun Bay to the south, Turkey's coastline is almost entirely exposed to Greece, while the three bays to the south face Cyprus. In other words, if Cyprus falls into the hands of Greece, Turkey will completely lose its access to the sea. Because the historical grievances between the two countries are very deep, comparable to the Republic and Japan, even if they are both NATO members, and Greece is a small country. The Turkish authorities also had to be concerned.

In fact, even during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Turkey's main task was to withstand the Red Empire in the north, and the main force of the Turkish Navy was not placed in the direction of the Black Sea, but deployed in Antalya, Icher and Iskenderun in the south, and focused on the construction of these three military ports.

In order to ensure the security of the southern access to the sea, Turkey had serious consequences when the military coup d'état in Cyprus, Greece, prepared to eradicate the self-reliant Turkish regime. brazenly sent troops to Serbuncle. It was at this time that Greece and Turkey fought a skirmish in Cyprus, but neither side made it public. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret the heart, please log in to read!

Arguably. The Turkish authorities have taken a bit too the Cyprus issue.

From the point of view of the exhibition, Turkey has more or less to lose.

Since Kemal's military coup, Turkey, which had been built on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, began to westernize like Japan, which was located on the other side of the Asian continent and had just begun the Meiji Restoration, and since then, the Turkish authorities have been steadfast in pursuing Western policies. And with access to the Western world as the ultimate goal. The problem is that Turkey is not Japan, and it has not become a country like Japan

After joining the NATO bloc, Turkey has been trying to do one thing well, that is, "breaking away from Asia and joining Europe."

Although geographically speaking, Turkey is a typical Asian country, after all, the land above the paste is on the Asian continent, and among the provinces, only Edirne, Krkrarelli, and Tekilda are introduced. As well as the provinces of Canakkale and part of the provinces of Istanbul in the European region, but under the influence of a policy of total Westernization, the Turkish authorities have been actively striving to become a European country, relying on "foothold in Europe". Among other things, in FIFA, Turkey has been divided into Europe, which is more difficult to qualify, rather than Asia, which is more likely to emerge.

In a sense, joining the NATO bloc is also part of Turkey's policy of Westernization.

The question is. The United States is too far from Turkey.

During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Turkey benefited from its unique geographical location, which was not only valued by the United States, but also received the help of many European allies. After the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Turkey's strategic position plummeted. Because of the Kurdish problem. The Turkish authorities did not actively support the United States during the period of Iraq, and they did not cooperate with Greece on the Cyprus issue, so that by the beginning of the century, Turkey had become a child that his grandmother did not love and his grandmother did not love. While the United States regained its attention to Turkey with the rise of the republic, the European states did not continue to tolerate the barbaric Turkic descendants.

Until the year of the kiss, Turkey was an observer state of the European Union, not a member state.

In the final analysis, it is Greece that is firmly opposed to Turkey's accession. What's more, Greece has made the most of the Cyprus problem so that other EU member states, such as the United Kingdom, which has been secretly assisting Turkey, have no reason to support Turkey's accession in a formal setting, let alone openly oppose Greece in the EU.

What's worse is that the day of the month is the thug. Cyprus became a member of the European Union.

Although, according to the criteria set by the European Union, membership required the settlement of all external disputes, the question of Cyprus was an internal matter. And all EU countries, including the United Kingdom, recognize only the Greek Cypriot government. In fact, only Turkey recognizes the Turkish Cypriot regime, so no country has reason to oppose Cypriot accession. In this case. If Turkey wants to join the EU, it will have to withdraw its troops from Cyprus.

Because the Cyprus issue has become the main reason blocking Turkey's accession, most EU member states have been less polite on minor issues, such as the Kurdish issue. Among other things, Germany and France have repeatedly refused to supply arms to Turkey, not because Turkey is a guarantor of Cyprus and has the right to garrison troops in Cyprus, but because the Turkish authorities have not resolved the national contradictions in the country.

All in all, Turkey has not had an easy time on the path of "Westernization".

Compared to Turkey, Greece is actually not much better.

There is no doubt that Greece has enough history and culture to make any family envious, but in reality, Greece is a country that is not weak or even backward.

In the words of some Western commentators. Greece is the poor boy of a bunch of rich people.

Greece is indeed a very poor country in the rich part of Europe. Even if you don't measure it, Greece is not a top country. Because Greece depends not on a well-developed industrial system, but on tourism. To put it mildly, more than half of all Greeks will have to live on the legacy of their ancestors thousands of years ago, and as long as the number of tourists decreases by 20%, the unemployment rate in Greece will exceed that of the old brothers

It is precisely in this way that at the beginning of the century, that is, in the financial crisis, Greece became the first EU country to arrive. The burden-bearing sovereign debt crisis has not only caused the euro exchange rate to plunge to a high level, but also caused Greece to encounter an unprecedented social crisis. The crisis, which ultimately led to the victory of the leftist regime in Greece, in the general election. It became the first country in the eurozone to be politically unstable due to the financial crisis. In a sense, France and Germany have accelerated the process of military and political integration in Europe since the end of the year. It is closely related to the euro exchange rate crisis triggered by the crisis of Greece's sovereign debt, especially the main role played by the financial groups on Wall Street in the United States, and the US authorities' suppressive policies against Europe, and even the direct driving force for European reunification.

To put it more bluntly, the teachings of Greece; Let European countries understand the meaning of the phrase "comrades are unreliable".

In the case of the United States, it is not only third world countries, nor only emerging economies such as republics, but also "big country clubs" such as the European Union, that have been plundered. The sobered European countries have developed a stronger sense of independence, otherwise France, Germany and Italy would not have taken up the burden of the integration process and become the three carriages that will push Europe towards reunification.

Greece, which has come to its senses, no longer regards the United States as a true ally.

From the old era of the century to the end of the blade era. The Greek authorities have been actively improving relations with the republic. Although in the eyes of the vast majority of people. The Greek authorities are trying to win hundreds of millions of potential tourists to the most populous country that is about to pass through the United States and provide jobs for millions of Greeks. In fact, it is true that after the Republic reached a renminbi and euro swap agreement with the European Union, the Republic became the largest source of tourists to Greece in the year of the Flying Blade, and more than 10,000 citizens of the Republic visited Greece that year, creating about 10,000 jobs for Greece and nearly the euro of tourism income. But the Greek government's long-term plan is definitely not to rely on tourism. Historically, no powerful country has been built on tourism.

For Greece, an industrial system was established. In particular, the cutting-edge industrial system appears to be disproportionate.

Greece has a very enviable advantage over the rest of the European Union, especially the most advanced ones, and that is its high fertility rate. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage that would be the envy of any country. By the time of the year, the population of Greece had increased from the heart of the beginning of the century to the number of insects, and during this period. The population of France has decreased from 10,000 to 10,000, the population of Germany has decreased from 10,000 to 10,000, and the population of Britain has decreased from 10,000 to 10,000. It is precisely in this way that at the time of the Qu year, there were about 10,000 Greek laborers working in other EU countries.

Exporting large numbers of workers is definitely not a long-term solution for one country.

Strictly speaking, the address of this site has been changed to: anti-8, please log in to read! , Zhou Pilao, is just a temporary solution to social problems, and in the long run, "Jie will bring very serious social problems." Among other things, prices in Greece have remained high because workers repatriate thousands of euros a year. While this is also related to the tourism-oriented approach of the Greek authorities, foreign tourists, especially from outside the EU, are willing to spend money, but remittances are a much more stable income, and one that does not generate any tax revenue for the government. Excessively high prices will certainly exacerbate social contradictions and make the already inaffluent people suffer even greater injustice.

In the long run, if Greece wants to become a country in the true sense of the word, it will have to work its own industrial construction.

The United States is certainly not reliable, and the rest of the European Union is no better. Before Greece, Poland, which also exported a large number of workers, had already suffered a big loss. The Polish religion told the Greek authorities that the "most advanced countries" such as France, Germany and Italy would not sincerely help the backward Central Powers, but would only make the best use of the labor force of Greece and other countries; Through the aging of the population, to ensure that the main site fold address in the European Union has been changed to: anti-8, please log in to read!

Of course, Greece is not without good teaching materials.

Egypt across the Mediterranean Sea and Romania to the north are positive lessons. Both countries began to industrialize in the early centuries. And in the middle of the blade era, a relatively complete industrialization system was established, and with their own advantageous fields, one catty, became a manufacturing power in North Africa and the Middle East, and the other became an industrial production base in Eastern Europe.

The two countries have one thing in common, that is, from the very beginning, they pinned their industrialization on the republic.

It is precisely for this reason that, from the beginning of the decade, the Greek authorities have been actively approaching the Republic and have repeatedly sent government delegations to the Republic to attract investment. It is hoped that the authorities of the Republic will actively encourage high-tech companies to invest in Greece and use Greece as a base to enter the European Union.

I have to admit that the Greek authorities are very good at picking their time.

At that time, the Great Depression was on the Internet, and the Republic was the least affected, and many powerful Republic enterprises were in the process of strategic expansion. If it can successfully land in Greece, it can be used as a bridgehead to enter the EU market. In fact, in order to avoid European trade barriers, many enterprises in the Republic have taken the opportunity to set up branches in Greece, and then use Greece as a breakthrough to dump products on the EU market. Exactly. During the Great Depression. Instead of fighting a trade war with the Republic with the United States, the EU took advantage of the trade war between the Republic and the United States. Similarly, because Republic companies can use Greece for entrepot trade and enter the European market, the Council of the European Union officially approved the euro and RMB swap agreement after the year of the fight, opening the door for Republic companies to enter Europe.

From the year of stay, it is not only the Republic of China that goes to Greece.

Because Greece has an abundant and relatively cheap labor force, it follows the successive introduction of a number of trade laws on imported products in the European Union. Republican companies are opening factories in Greece to expand their market share with local production and avoid the EU's draconian trade laws. By the end of the Great Depression, Republic companies had invested nearly 400 million euros in Greece, opened tens of thousands of businesses, and created millions of jobs. By the end of the calendar year, the number of Greek workers working in the rest of the European Union had shrunk to that of a thug. In the same year, Greece's per capita GDP and per capita disposable income surpassed that of France and Italy, and officially entered the country.

There is no doubt that the enterprises of the republic played an important role in the transformation of Greece.

According to the reports of some European news media, by that time, the investment of the republican enterprises in Greece had already accounted for about the gills of the total investment in Greek society, and the Greeks who had been directly or indirectly related to the enterprises of the republic had been directly or indirectly related to the enterprises of the republic, and the Zhao family, which was the most influential agricultural enterprise in Greece, was controlled or participated in by the republican enterprises. One of the main industries of Wu is controlled by the Republic of Enterprises.

All in all, the Greek authorities have closer relations with the Republic than with any other member state of the European Union.

It is precisely for this reason that the EU has behaved extremely ambiguously on many international issues. Although the authorities of the Republic have never acknowledged the ability to influence the Greek government, in the opinion of the vast majority of the population, the interests of the Republic are certainly at the heart of the Greek authorities, given that more than half of the Greek electorate has ties to the enterprises of the Republic.

After the Kurdish crisis broke out, it was not the authorities of the republic who acted first, but Greece.

Of course, the visit of the Greek Deputy Foreign Minister to Beijing in the capacity of the country's special envoy was not made public, and the Republic's ambassador to Greece presented the country to the Greek authorities on June Day.

In the eyes of the American news media, it is the influence of the Republic that has made the Greek authorities slow to fulfill their obligations as NATO allies.

What makes the US authorities even more miserable is that. At this juncture, the United States cannot be too tough, let alone threaten Greece.

For the U.S. assistant secretary of state, who is on an urgent visit to Athens, it is almost an impossible task to convince the Greek authorities of the importance of the United States and change their minds on key issues. Especially when European countries have successively stated that they do not intend to shed blood and sacrifice for Turkey, Greece has no reason to take the American chariot.
