Abstract :There are ongoing disputes between Turkey and Greece over the Aegean Sea, namely territorial waters, continental shelf, the demilitarized status of the Eastern Aegean Islands, and the legal status of certain geographical features in the Aegean. Aegean airspace, Search and Rescue (SAR) operations/activities. This study will focus on the legal status of certain geographical features in the Aegean also known as ‘gray zones.’ The problem of gray zones became concrete in the late 1930s and has been going on ever since and does not seem to be resolved in the near future. Although the issue seems to have been withdrawn for now, it can be said that it will come up again as the political agenda changes. This study will try to answer these questions: What is the issue of the legal status of certain geographical features in the Aegean? Why did the issue become popular in 2012-2018 and then fade away after that?Keywords : Türkiye, Yunanistan, Çatışma, Ege Denizi, Gri Bölgeler
