56:43Now PlayingConflicted - Season Three | Episode Thirteen
A clash 1,400 years in the making shakes the modern Middle East. Dive into the epic, centuries‑long struggle between Greeks and Turks, from the fall of Constantinople to the 1974 invasion of Cyprus, and discover how ancient prophecies, Ottoman legacies, and Cold War politics still shape today’s tensions.
Key Takeaways:
• The Greek–Turkish rivalry: rooted in medieval and even apocalyptic narratives that still influence politics today.
• Hagia Sophia: a deeper cultural struggle between modern secularism and revived Ottoman‑Islamic identity.
• The 1974 Cyprus invasion following decades of nationalism, intercommunal violence, and Cold War manoeuvring.
• British imperial withdrawal and how it was exploited by Greece, Turkey, and local militias.
