Those questions can be grouped under the name of the “Aegean Question”. The abovementioned questions between the two countries whose intensity varies form time to time are principally the ones concerning the territorial waters, continental shelf, airspace, disarmament and demilitarisation of the islands and the state of belonging concerning the islands, islets and rockies. The essential and thus the most important of the abovementioned questions is to be considered as the territorial waters question, and so the airspace question which constitues the subject of the present work is directly related to the territorial waters question. The present work aims to respond the following question: “What is the Place of the Question Concerning the Limitation of the Turkish and Greek Airspaces on the Aegean Question?” Thus, the aim of the present work will be the demonstration of the national airspace question in the Aegean Sea in the framework of the historical background and also the thesis of the parties, and finally to analyse the place of the abovementioned question in the totality of the Aegean Question.
