The episodes of the new Greek-Turkish crisis are succeeding each other with increased frequency. And if in previous phases the Greek-Turkish competition was located in the Aegean, now its field has expanded from North Africa - Libya - to the entire eastern Mediterranean.

This edition of the Marxist Bookstore includes a series of texts that explain the causes and turns of this dangerous competition. They are valuable texts because they provide answers to the questions raised by the new crisis: what are its causes, what are the factors that fuel it, and of course what is the answer that the Left must give, how can we stop the threat of war.

The red thread of analysis that runs through the texts of this book treats the Greek-Turkish competition as reactionary from both sides, as a competition between two ruling classes that is fueled and fed by broader imperialist competitions and destabilization in the entire region.

The labor movement and the Left have a whole history of struggles not only in Greece but also in Turkey and Cyprus. We have common enemies and common struggles. This perspective becomes even more relevant today, when movements and uprisings are growing throughout the Middle East. This is the real power that can stop the war plans of the ruling classes and the imperialists.
