Dude, I'm not really familiar with the Greco-Turkish list of problems (cuz I only know Greece's side of the story), but I have the impression that it's not all about Cyprus... In fact, I remember reading somewhere that both parties use the Cyprus issue as 'cover' for their respective demands on other issues (kind of like 'give me something on that and I'll give you something in Cyprus', or along those lines, anyway), or as an example of the other side's intransingence on the Aegean issue.

there was a article about six months back in a few greek newspapers that greece and turkey had reached a agreement on the all aspects of the aegean.this included territrial waters,continetal shelf,and airspace .the agreement fell short at the last minute when turkey(generals)raised the issue of "grey zones".realations are improving between turkey and greece everyday,investment in both countries by each other has increased dramatically over the last few years,joint cooperation in tourism, energy and others have smoothed relations.Greece for the first time in 82 years since the founding of the turkish republic was removed as the number one threat to turkey.even airspace violations have decreased and resently even even when they do incur rthere our no more dogfights.this arent the greatest but they are getting better day by day.the ket is cyprus and a viable solution,everything else will fall into place.
