Greece, Turkey, Cyprus: Triangle of conflict - and opportunity

Exacerbated by macho politics, the long-running disputes between these three former members of the Ottoman Empire risk turning into military action in Cyprus or the Aegean. Yet the contenders, sharing history and culture as well as geography, have much to offer each other. Why did they fall out, and what prospects are there fore a new spirit of cooperation, trade and friendship?

This briefing looks at the history and current strategic realities of this frontier region between East and West, the price of past conflict, and the potential rewards of peace.
