Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the interrelationship between Geopolitics and Grand Strategy in the context of the Cyprus Question. It examines the formation of the Turkish Grand Strategy based on the geopolitical position of Cyprus from mid 1950’s until nowadays and the ways the Turkish governments implemented it in a successful way. Furthermore, it compares the different adaptations of both Greek and Turkish foreign policies over the Cyprus issue after the Turkish invasion of 1974.
