Topic: Aegean Sea


  
 Aegean Sea, Turkey-Adiyamanli.org
The Aegean is connected through the straits of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosporus with the Black Sea, while the island of Crete can be taken as marking its boundary on the south.
Structurally the Aegean islands are subject to frequent earthquakes.
During the 1970s, Thera in particular became a topic of major international scientific importance, analysis of its surrounding sediments having been linked with a possible explanation of the ancient legend of the lost island of Atlantis.

 Aegean Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In ancient times there were various explanations for the name "Aegean." It was said to have been named after the town of Aegae; Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea; and Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died.
It is connected to the Marmara Sea and Black Sea by the Dardanelles and Bosporus.
The Aegean islands can be simply divided into seven groups: the Thracian Sea group, the East Aegean group, the Northern Sporades, the Cyclades, the Saronic Islands (or Argo-Saronic Islands), the Dodecanese and Crete.

 Case Study
The Aegean Sea and its islands have been at the heart of the ongoing historical dispute between Greece and Turkey.
Turkey stated that their continental shelf claims were justified by “special circumstances” related to the proximity of the Greek islands to the Turkish coast.
Despite the Greek claims, Turkey continues to argue today that the proclaimed sovereign rights for Greece in the continental shelf would make the Aegean a Greek Lake, and that the international principle of “right of innocent passage” is an inadequate guarantee for the safety of all Turkish ships passing through Greek waters.

 Santorini and the legend of Atlantis
Probably at no time there was a place whose name was written ''Atlantis'' on some map...But the theory that the volcanic desaster of Santorini is the source behind Plato's story of Atlantis is quite supported, in my opinion more than any other theory.
Only the Athenians, by virtue of their own military and moral power, were able to stop and defeat Atlantis from subduing the world.
But it is also possible that Solon or Plato either were misinterpreting their old sources or that Plato put it willingly far beyond the Greek-influenced world..

 DIVIDING THE AEGEAN SEA : A PLAN IN PROGRESS?
Greece's continued failure to confront this fundamental reality, while Turkey accuses Greece violating international law in asserting its right to extend its territorial waters, defend its eastern Aegean islands, and maintain a ten-mile airspace, permits Ankara to effectively argue that its claims on the Aegean Sea are meritorious and well-intentioned.
After Greece rejected the claim, Turkey called for negotiations concerning the status of Imia and all "the small islands, islets and rocks in the Aegean" whose status, it claimed, was not well determined.
Ankara's claims on Greek sovereignty date back at least to 1973, when the national petroleum company dispatched the naval vessel "Cardali" to conduct research on the seabed just outside Greek territorial waters in the northern Aegean Sea.

This delay in scnding help to Corcyra was rightly or wrongly condemned by tke Athenians, who dismissed Timotheus in favour of Iphicrates.
In 367 Athens and Thebes sent rival ambassadors to Persia, with the result that Athens was actually ordered to abandon her claim to Amphipolis, and to remove her navy from the high seas.
The claim to Amphipolis was subsequently affirmed, but the Greek states declined to obey the order of Persia.

In the same year the area of Achaea was brought under Athenian power and in 450, Cimon sailed to Cyprus where he won a crushing victory.
Athens as a sea power would "police" the Aegean with her triremes and, taking advantage of the allies, played the role of the protector and consequently "imposed" her "power politics", her political and judicial dominion.

 US - Greek Naval Relations Begin: Antipiracy Operations in the Aegean Sea
In the short run, the allied victory at Navarino actually caused an increase in Greek pirate incidents, since the destruction of the Ottoman naval threat merely freed up Greek sea forces from the need to fight the Turks, and enabled them to focus on attacking neutral shipping.
US Navy warships provided humanitarian relief to Greek citizens following the earthquakes of 1953 and 1955, and have routinely assisted the crews of Greek-owned merchant ships during disasters at sea.
This paper discusses the US Navy's campaign against Greek pirates who interfered with American shipping in the Aegean during the second decade of the nineteenth century.
