Turkish-Greek Relations: Rapprochement, Civil Society and the Politics of Friendship : Routledge : 9780415730457 : 0415730457 : 28 Apr 2014 : Turkish-Greek relations are marked by a long trajectory of enmity and tension. This book sets out to explore the ?other side' of that history, focusing on initiatives that have promoted contact between the two societies and encouraged rapprochement. Presenting a new critical re-description of Turkish-Greek rapprochement processes over a lengthy time span (1974-2013), Turkish-Greek Relations offers innovative explanations for the emergence of the reconciliation movement. Instead of lineal continuities, the book explores different routes that these efforts for rapprochement have followed, reflected in the divergent visions for a ?Turkish-Greek friendship' pursued by actors as distinct as radical leftists, civil society activists, local government representatives, artists and liberal intellectuals, as well as journalists, politicians and businessme
