Wpływ kryzysu migracyjnego Unii Europejskiej na stosunki grecko-tureckie
Greek–Turkish Relations, UE and Migration Problem

Summary/Abstract: In 2015 the European Union was faced with a huge problem – the migration crisis, which saw more than a million migrants crossing the EUborders. Almost 900,000 came to the EU from Turkey. Migrants travelled from the Turkish Anatolian coast to the nearby Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. The Aegean has for decades seen territorial disputes between Greece and Turkey concerning delimitation of the boundaries of the continental shelf, territorial waters, airspace. Turkey also claims the right to the Greek islands at its shores. Mass migration of Muslims to Greek islandscontribute to escalations of tensions between Athens and Ankara. Greece is getting increasingly concerned about the possibility of Turkey using the ‘demographic weapon’.
