From the transcript
It's a conflict that has plagued the region for generations, rooted in territorial disputes, historic rivalries, access to resources, and a whole lot more.
Time and time again, Turkey and Greece have failed to find solutions to their many disagreements, and on more than one occasion, have come close to the brink of war with Turkey going as far as to threaten Athens with missile strikes in recent months. Despite both nations being members of NATO, armed confrontations seems increasingly as a likely scenario.
And today, we're going to dive into the cause of this tension and examine the possibility of it erupting into Europe's next war. The first issue dividing the two nations is a shared history of tension and war going back hundreds of years. Greece was occupied by the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century and was kept under their rule for more than 400 years.
