It is concluded in line with these arguments firstly that the Aegean dispute has influenced substantially Turkey’s relations with the European Union and secondly that certain conflicts that Turkey and Greece have experienced in their relations over the Aegean have been the stimulus behind the current rapprochement

Özet

Bu makalenin amacı Ege Sorunu’nun hukukî ve siyasî yanlarını Türkiye’nin Yunanistan ve Avrupa Birliği ile ilişkilerine etkileri üzerinden değerlendirmektir. Makalenin temel argümanı Türkiye ve Yunanistan arasındaki hemen hemen bütün uzlaşma girişimlerinin Ege’ye ilişkin farklılıklarından kaynaklandığı şeklindedir. Diğer bir argüman ise Yunanistan’ın ulusal çıkarlarını gerçekleştirmek için Avrupa Birliği karar alma mekanizmasını Türkiye’ye karşı bir kaldıraç olarak kullandığı şeklindedir. Bu argümanlar doğrultusunda, birinci olarak, Ege Sorunu’nun Türkiye’nin Avrupa Birliği ile ilişkilerini önemli ölçüde etkilediği, ikinci olarak da Türkiye ve Yunanistan’ın Ege’ye ilişkin yaşadıkları çatışmaların devam etmekte olan uzlaşma sürecinin başlamasını kolaylaştırdığı sonucuna varılmaktadır.
