Summary/Abstract: This chapter will approach Turkish-Greek relations in an alternative way. Unfortunately, the perception of Turkish-Greek relations has been manipulated repeatedly by various sources over time. Due to the history textbooks, both sides have grown up hostile towards each other. In every crisis, both societies were terrified of how societies were mobilized and manipulated with negative motivations against each other. Both sides are competent in this struggle. Furthermore, the media plays a significant role in this adverse competition. This struggle brings us to one reality: There are two types of people, notably in media, revealing the adverse mobilization on both sides: HAWKS and ROMANTICS. This chapter will approach the impact of those two blocs in the Turkish-Greek diplomatic seesaw.
