Camp David Peace Accords: A Model for Greece and Turkey.

摘要

This study examines the ongoing Greece-Turkey conflict and the 1978 Camp David Peace Accords in an effort to determine whether or not the successful 1978 approach can be modified and adapted to bring peace to Greece and Turkey. The focus throughout the thesis is on the military perspective. The subsequent descriptive comparison and integration of the Camp David model with the Greece-Turkey conflict divides the hostile issues into three categories (security, territorial and economic) and then compares the two cases to determine their likeness. After running this comparison, the study concludes that the Greek-Turkish dispute is analogous to the situation that faced Egypt and Israel prior to the Camp David Summit. It further concludes that the Camp David approach will work in the Aegean if properly adapted to the situation. Keywords: Greek-Turkish dispute, Aegean conflict, NATO's Southern Flank, Camp David accords, Middle East peace, Soviet Navy Black Sea Fleet and Mediterranean squadron, Treaties. (JES)
