Reading week: Greece – Turkey and geopolitical differences

Recently, there have been more and more reports in the international press about the relations between Greece and Turkey. What is the history of Greek-Turkish relations that bring, according to some journalists and analysts, the possibility of a conflict closer? During the reading week, we will try to capture in an objective way the relations between Greece and Turkey through the pages of the book “Geopolitics of Greece” (the book is available in Greek and French). We will also try to capture some stereotypes and prejudices that influence the creation of the other’s image.

Check-in April 2nd, Check-out April 8th.
