“…Then it was rewarding to be a dove in the Greek population. Papacosma (1996) and Kazamias (1997) argue that the PASOK electoral victory in 1981 caused a sudden inflection in Greek foreign policy. However, the first serious crisis over the Aegean erupted when PASOK was not in government.…”

Delimitation of the territorial waters and continental shelf in the Aegean Sea constitutes a constant source of conflict and produces recurrent crises between Greece and Turkey. This article explores directions that the Greek-Turkish dispute over the delimitation of territorial waters can take through an evolutionary game framework. Crises are found to follow routines and practices involving challenges to the status quo and reactions preceding mutual retreat. Hence, the status quo in the Aegean Sea can persist even in the form of aggressive behavior. It is also possible that the dispute will evolve into a stable state of conflict where no cooperative foreign policy can survive.

“…Besides the issue of foreign policy, however, some analysts have also argued that the ways Turkey, Cyprus, and Greece responded to political and natural crises in the post-Cold War era reveal significant -redefinitions of old ideas about Self and Other‖ among their -domestic constituencies‖ (Gundogdu, 2001, p. 6; see also Ioakimidis, 1999;Kazamias, 1997;Kirisci, 1999). To be more concrete, Greeks and Turks have long shared a discourse of mutual amity and enmity.…”

This article examines the bodily donations made by Greeks, Turks and Cypriots to the victims of two devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Greece (1999), as well as to a Greek and a Turkish Cypriot boy, both suffering from leukemia (2000). Considering the age old discourse of amity and enmity shared by the citizens of the three nation states, I ask what made them see these hardly rare events as exceptionally important, and rush to offer each other their blood and body organs. Politicians and journalists of the time presented these corporeal responses as "civil society's demand for brotherly rapprochement," thus underscoring the anthropological insight that contemporary identity politics is increasingly "medicalized". Taking into consideration both the medical regimes of truth that made these donations possible, and the painful political experiences lived and remembered by Greeks, Turks and Cypriots to this day, I argue that the conciliation these donors performed revealed the suspense of their faith in the reconciliatory future rather than their acceptance of restorative notions such as brotherhood and rapprochement. Stated otherwise, these donors, being familiar with the euphemistic and the conditional hence pending nature of such political conciliations, dared the Derridian impossible: without endangering the principle of sharing, they opened their bodies to alterity, to their foe's bodies, and hence entertained the possibility of non-predetermined, thus unexpected even incongruous events of memory.
