"Greece Aegean controlling facilitate trade, defense and communications in the Mediterranean. Protecting the core of this invasion is to Greece's largest geopolitical challenge they face, "says an analysis of the American Institute of geostrategic analyzes Stratfor, which is staffed by former executives of the U.S. State Department and the CIA.


The publication of this analysis is not a random point in time if one takes into account developments in the field of hydrocarbons and the simultaneous surge of Turkey's aggression against Greece, while Stratfor believes that during the economic crisis in Greece will klithei to solve this major problem. A crisis, as stated in the resolution, "the overcoming of it is one of the basic goals of economic, social and political life in the coming years."
Practically the crisis calls into question the ability of Greece to meet the challenge of defending the Aegean during the Stratfor. The rest of geopolitical analysis for Greece is as follows:
"Greece is a mountainous country located in Southeastern Europe. It borders with Albania, FYROM, Bulgaria and Turkey. The Rhodope Mountains and Pindos form a natural barrier with its northern neighbors. The Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean include Greece, giving the country one of the longest coastlines in the world. The country has over two thousand islands and life in Greece has traditionally grown near the sea. In ancient city-states such as Athens and Sparta have expanded their influence throughout the Mediterranean installing colonies in Italy, Turkey, northern Africa and around the Black Sea. Today, the Greek merchant navy is the second largest in the world who contributed to a very large part in the country's economy after tourism.
Athens is the capital of the country and the most popular. The Athens with Aegean sea it surrounds is the core of the country. Because of its strategic location in the "heart" of the Mediterranean Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empire respectively dominated Greece for over 2000 years. After a great war Greece won its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1830. Because of the mountainous country makes its governance from a central point of administration difficulties, few cities in the mountainous area along with bad transport hinder economic growth by making the country the least developed state in the eurozone.
