9. Greece and Turkey
Despite military confrontations and territorial disputes, Greece and Turkey have experienced periods of rapprochement. The 1999 earthquakes in both countries led to mutual humanitarian assistance, initiating “earthquake diplomacy” that improved relations. In 2023, following a devastating earthquake in Turkey, Greece was among the first to offer aid, sending rescue teams and supplies. This swift response contributed to a renewed commitment to dialogue and cooperation, focusing on regional stability and mutual interests (aljazeera.com).
