Earlier this year, Greece lifted its objections to Turkey's candidacy for the European Union and the two countries signed a number of low-level accords to improve ties. Last week, six Greek F-16 warplanes touched down at a Turkish base for the first time in at least three decades. But observers say Turkey and Greece must resolve continuing disputes over Aegean sea and airspace territory and the divided island of Cyprus for real progress to take place. The nations have nearly gone to war three times in the past 26 years. The traditional rivals have yet to decide how to address their thorniest disputes.
Turkey opposes Greece's wish to take Aegean territorial issues to an international court.
