 Case Study
Greece cites both the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Continental Shelf and its successor, the 1982 Law of the Sea (LOS) Convention in support of their argument; two conventions in which Turkey incidentally did not participate.
With the discovery of oil by Greece in 1973 off the coast of Thassos, a northern Aegean island, the continental shelf issue was thrust to the center stage of the historical dispute in the Aegean.
Greece desired language that sought delimitation by agreements only, knowing that it would receive the continental shelf it was already claiming, unless a different agreement with Turkey occurred; an unlikely event.

 Central Europe Review - Immigration: Albanians in Greece
In the period 1991-1998, there was no concrete migration policy, as the country was still considered to be a net "exporter" of population.[4] Specialist institutions, such as advice centres for the legal, social and economic orientation of immigrants (especially children), hardly existed.
Greece has viewed this rapprochement with alarm, because she is afraid of the expansion of the Turkish influence in the Balkans, and the potential formation of an "Islamic Arc" (Albania - Bosnia - Turkey) which would run through her borders.
Besides, Greece is still considered an enemy in the Albanian collective conscience, as Hohxa, the former Communist dictator, had cultivated the idea that the country is surrounded by hostile powers ready to dismember her.

The military interference in Cyprus (1974) involves very negative responses in West; Greece entrance in the EEC (1981) is translated by a recurrent exercise of a veto right on the financial assets to Turkey.
Greece and Turkey was allied before their synchronous entrance in the Organization (1952) and it remained powerless when the two countries confronted, by nationalists interposed, to Cyprus, since 1955.

 AHA Information: Michael I. Rostovtzeff Presidential Address (1935)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Greece was too poor for each part of it to be able to satisfy its own needs, and therefore almost all its cities were in bitter need of imported goods--foodstuffs, building materials, metals.
The clients of Greece, both the Greek cities of the periphery of the Greek world and their neighbors, potentially as rich as they were, developed their own flourishing agriculture and industry and gradually emancipated themselves from Greece proper, the Greek islands, and the Greek cities of Asia Minor.
The unity of Greece and the Orient was achieved through the gradual dissemination in the Orient of compact groups of Greeks that settled in villages and cities, both old and new, and formed politically, socially, and economically the leading, privileged class of the population.

 Macedonian Heritage - Annotated Bibliography
The author, a modern-day traveller to northern Greece with an anthropologist’s eye–and ear–for the incongruous, was only moderately surprised when one rainy evening in a village above the town of Edessa she heard a speaker of a local Slavic idiom tell her this was ‘Macedonian, the language of Alexander the Great’.
On the issue of Greece’s dispute with her northern neighbour, the former British Foreign Secretary appointed as mediator in Yugoslavia by the EU, says in this book (p.75) that ‘to the Greeks with the northern part of their country called Macedonia it was offensive to have an independent state called Macedonia on their borders’.
Greece, according to Zahariadis, has pursued a vigorous campaign to block recognition of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) in order to oblige that state to adopt an appellation other than "Macedonia".

At the same time, he observed the sun was not directly overhead at Alexandria; instead, it cast a shadow with the vertical equal to 1/50th of a circle (7° 12').
From these observations and "known" facts, Eratosthenes concluded that, since the angular deviation of the sun from the vertical at Alexandria was also the angle of the subtended arc, the linear distance between Alexandria and Syene was 1/50 of the circumference of the earth or 50 x 500 = 25,000 miles.
