Abstract
Discussions on the width of the national airspace have been a frequent topic on the agenda of Turkish-Greek relations after 1974. Discussions on this issue arise, in particular, from the difference between the width of the Greek national territorial sea and the width of its airspace. The rules of international law, while regulating the rights related to the sovereignty of the states, stipulated that the sovereignty of the state covers the territorial lands, the territorial seas forming the coasts of these lands, and the airspace over these regions as a whole. In short, the territorial sea border of a state and the width of its national airspace must be the same; It is accepted that the state has exclusive sovereign rights over these areas. Although airspace problems are not a problem that directly affects the relations between Turkey and Greece, they come to the fore at various times as a secondary problem among other problems. Airspace issues, which is a problem of international law, is a research subject that is suitable for obtaining many findings related to international politics. There are previous studies on this subject in Turkey. However, in this study, it has tried to deal with the issue from the perspective of international relations as much as possible. Keywords: Turkey, Greece, International Law, Airspace, Aegean Sea
