	Aegean Sea - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In ancient times there were various explanations for the name "Aegean." It was said to have been named after the town of Aegae; Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea; and Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died.
		The Aegean Sea was later inhabited by Persians, Romans, the Byzantine Empire, the Venetians, the Seljuk Turks, and the Ottoman Empire.
		The Aegean islands can be simply divided into seven groups: the Thracian Sea group, the East Aegean group, the Northern Sporades, the Cyclades, the Saronic Islands (or Argo-Saronic Islands), the Dodecanese and Crete.

		EXACTLY TEN years after the crisis over the two Aegean rock islets of Imia brought Greece and Turkey to the brink of war, the broad repercussions of the episode and the unanswered questions still linger.
		Lymberis asserts that he modernised the military crisis management plan in May 1995, with steps including the use of the navy, the air force and the retaking of an occupied island, and that on 18 January 1996 he ordered the armed forces to be ready for such an episode.
		The parents of the three officers lost in the crisis - Panagiotis Vlahakos, Hector Yalopsos and Christodoulos Karathanasis - believe their sons were shot down in an ill-planned operation and an ill-equipped helicopter.

		Tensions remained high for months, although various confidence-building measures were discussed to reduce the risk of military accidents or conflict in the Aegean, under the auspices of the NATO Secretary General.

		Part of the argument in support of the assumed crisis is based on the enduring consequences that beg a coherent explanation.

		And I also would like to suggest that, as we work through this crisis in Kosovo, that it's very, very important--and I'm borrowing this from someone else, so this is not an original idea--to keep our day on the day after, on what we do after Kosovo.
		We need to be looking for opportunities, not just band-aids to patch the latest crisis and hope that it doesn't happen again, knowing it probably will if we don't come up with more permanent and probably more expensive solutions.
		I would suggest, again, I use Kosovo, the Kosovo crisis, as a point of departure here, and I remind you that, I remember, I was in Greece at the time, 1987, there was a crisis in the Northern Aegean.
