This book focuses broadly on the main issues of contention between Turkey and Greece, and analyses Turkeys policies towards Greece, based on the securitisation framework and focusing on the discourse of elites in the post-Cold War period. It inquires how, by whom and the extent to which Turkish foreign policy has securitised and de-securitised Greece.\nBased on an extensive discourse analysis of statements from Turkish elites including the president, prime minister, minister of foreign affairs, chief of general staff and the secretary general of the National Security Council Cihan Dizdaro?lu presents a fresh and critical analysis.
