THE SEARCH OF A CAUTIOUS RAPPROCHEMENT? PERSPECTIVES FOR GRECO-TURKISH RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF SYRIZA'S POSITION TOWARDS THE EU

Abstract

2008 finansal krizinin Avrupa Birliği’nde, özellikle Birliğin bazı güney üyelerinde son derece önemli etkileri olmuştur. Yunanistan’da finansal krizin etkileri kemer sıkma önlemlerinin de katkısı ile derinleşmiş ve bir politik krize doğru evrilmiştir. Bu sürecin sonunda Ocak 2015’te Syriza Partisi Yunanistan’ı krizden çıkaracak değişimi gerçekleştirme vaadi ile iktidara gelmiştir.

Bu gelişmeler ışığında, çalışmanın ilk bölümünde AB çerçevesi içerisinde Yunanistan’daki borç krizi ve Syriza Partisi’nin zaferi hakkında bir değerlendirme yapılması hedeflenmiştir. İkinci bölümde ise; borç krizi ve Syriza’nın iktidara gelmesi ile başlayan ve Syriza’nın vaatleri ile dikkatleri çeken bu değişim döneminin Türk-Yunan ilişkilerinde uzun süredir çözülemeyen bazı kemikleşmiş sorunların çözülmesinde ve Türkiye-AB ilişkilerinin ilerlemesinde bir dönüm noktası olarak yer alıp alamayacağı yönünde bir analiz ortaya konulmuştur.

Anahtar kelimeler: Avrupa Birliği, Syriza, borç krizi, Türk-Yunan ilişkileri
