      "title": "Greece and Turkey: The Rocky Islet Crisis",
      "summary": "The dispute between Greece and Turkey over the sovereignty of Imia/Kardak islet escalated\nrapidly\nbecause bilateral relations are hampered by historic distrust and unresolved issues, and because both\ncountries have weak governments. Each marshalled legal arguments to support its position. The\nUnited States acted to defuse the crisis and restore the status quo ante, but some State Department\ncomments complicated U.S.-Greek relations. In the aftermath, a politically damaged Greek\ngovernment temporarily distanced itself from the United States and sought support from its European\nUnion partners. The crisis did not affect efforts to form a government in Turkey, which sought to\ncounter Greece's moves in Europe.",
