  Gökçeada & Bozcaada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imbros (Turkish Gökçeada or Imroz, Greek Imvros) and Tenedos (Turkish Bozcaada; Greek Tenedhos) are two islands in the Aegean Sea which are part of Çanakkale Province in Turkey.
Imbros was mainly inhabited by Greeks, and called Imvros; Tenedos, which is closer to the Asian mainland, had been divided between the two ethnic groups since the 14th century, and the division had been more or less equal when counts had been taken.
In classical antiquity, Imbros, like Lemnos, was an Athenian colony, although since the Imbrians appear on the Athenian tribute lists, there may have been a division with the native population.

 Cabeiri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cabeiri in Greek mythology, were a group of minor deities, of whose character and worship nothing certain is known.
Their chief seats of worship were the islands of Lemnos, Imbros and Samothrace, the coast of Troas, Thessalia and Boeotia.
The name appears to be of Phoenician origin, signifying the "great" gods, and the Cabeiri seem to have been deities of the sea who protected sailors and navigation, as such often identified with the Dioscuri, the symbol of their presence being St Elmo's fire.

 Gokceada and Bozcaada (Imbros and Tenedos) - InformationBlast
Gökçeada and Bozcaada are two islands in the Aegean Sea which are part of the province of Çanakkale in Turkey.
Before the First World War they were mainly inhabited by Greeks and were called Imbros and Tenedos.
Because of their strategic position near the Dardanelles, the western powers, particularly Britain, insisted at the end of the Balkan Wars in 1913 that the islands should be retained by the Ottoman Empire when the other Aegean islands were ceded to Greece.

An additional complication arose in Greek-Turkish relations during the 1970s: the discovery of oil in the Aegean Sea.
The Balkan Wars of 1913 had given Greece all the Aegean islands except Gokceada and Bozcaada (Imbros and Tenedos), some of them only a few kilometres off the Turkish coast.
According to the Turkish government, the Greek-Turkish maritime border had never been properly defined, and Turkey now claimed that the seabed resources, namely oil, should be shared by the two countries, while the Greeks insisted that the whole Aegean belonged to Greece.

Greek parliamentarians in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) are expected to abandon presenting a motion to the assembly concerning the perceived problems of minority Greeks living in Gokceada (Imbros) and Bozcaada (Tenedos) in the Aegean Sea.
It is reported that a dialogue established between the Turkish and Greek parliamentarians during recent meetings played an important role in Greece's abandonment of the motion.
Greece prepared the motion on the grounds that the minority Greeks living in Bozcaada and Gokceada have problems concerning the status of their inheritance, property expropriation and ownership rights.
