Elements of Framing, Stereotyping and Ethnic Categorisation in the Greek Media Discourse During the 1976 Greek-Turkish Crisis SECTION: JOURNALISM LDMD I ELEMENTS OF FRAMING, STEREOTYPING AND ETHNIC CATEGORISATION IN THE GREEK MEDIA DISCOURSE DURING THE 1976 GREEK-TURKISH CRISIS Oana-Camelia STROESCU, Researcher, PhD, “Romanian Diplomatic Institute” Abstract: The present paper details the elements contributing to the development of ethnic categorisation in the Greek daily political newspapers during the Greek-Turkish crisis of the summer of 1976. After the Cyprus operations of 1974, Greece and Turkey have lived short periods of détente and expressions of mutual sympathy, followed by tension and diplomatic and/or military posturing. The two NATO allies came often on a brink of an armed conflict due to a variety of issues linked to different interpretation of international law regarding national sovereignty in certain areas of the Aegean Sea. These states should act as lighthouses of stability in the volatile region of Eastern Mediterranean and exclude any possibility of renewed hostilities in the future, including the armed confrontation. The study analyses the position of the Greek national political dailies on the Aegean energy crisis and shows the Greek media behaviour towards the Turkish people during the 1976 crisis. What kind of nationalism is reconstructed in the Greek press discourse? Is it a kind of patriotism or do news discourse reproduce sentiments of national superiority by using framing, ethnic categorisation, stereotypes and negative images? Do they contribute to the peace process between the two countries or do they exaggerate the conflict? Our purpose is to argue that the Greek daily political press produces and promotes ethnic categorisation through textual messages for the duration of the crisis. The front page articles of the major national Greek dailies contain textual messages that stereotype Turks by their concentration, frequency or omission. The methodology applied for this study is the qualitative analysis of the content of certain Greek national newspapers’ front pages during the Aegean crisis of 1976. This paper contains original as well as previously published ideas, fragments and/or language constructions of the author. Keywords: stereotype, Aegean crisis, press discourse, public opinion, ethnic categorisation There is an old stereotype about the Turks, illustrating them as bogeyman: ‘Eat your food, child, or else the Turk will come and take you away’. Sayings like this one can be found in the Balkan region and date back from the Ottoman Empire. But why Greeks have this negative image of their eastern neighbours? The present study has its source of inspiration in a wider research we are currently undergoing, related to the Greek-Turkish relations in the second half of the 20th century and the stereotypes promoted by the Greek media. In this paper we aim at remonstrating that the Greek press reinforces ethnic categorisation and stereotypes during this bilateral crisis, thus cultivating a negative image of the neighbour. The Alterity we refer to is the Turkish people as it is described by the Greek daily newspapers after the Cyprus crisis of 1974. One may observe the revival of the categorisation of the Turks in the Greek newspapers in times of bilateral tensions during the second half of the 20th century. The language has a strong impact on the collective perception of Alterity by creating simplified, negative images of the ‘other’. This perception is induced to public and perpetuates negative feelings towards the neighbours. The methodology applied for this study is the content analysis of the front page articles of major Greek political newspapers for a period of three months: one ahead of the crisis, during the crisis and one month after it. 129 SECTION: JOURNALISM LDMD I Greece and Turkey are two neighbouring states with wide coastlines at the Aegean Sea. The bilateral dispute is related to oil exploration and exploitation rights and thus to the sovereignty over certain areas in the Aegean. After World War II, the diplomatic relations between the two states passed through a crisis almost every ten years, because of the interethnic conflict in Cyprus and the disagreement regarding the sovereign right over some areas in the Aegean Sea. After 1974, this dispute took the shape of an energy dispute and referred to the disagreement over the interpretation and application of international law. On the one hand, Turkey’s position was that the Greek islands in the Eastern Aegean were not entitled to a continental shelf region and the delimitation line of the continental shelf should pass, from North to South, through the middle of the Aegean. The Turkish Government believed that the Aegean should be shared in equal parts between the two states, in order to have equal economic and defence opportunities in the area. On the other hand, Greece’s position was in favour of the delimitation of the continental shelf using the median line between the Greek islands in Eastern Aegean and the western shores of Turkey. In the summer of 1976, the tension took the shape of a crisis when the Turkish research vessel ‘Sismik I’ was sent out in the Aegean Sea to conduct oil research in the disputed continental shelf – considered by the authorities in Athens to be Greek. Consequently, Turkey and Greece appealed to the United Nation Security Council and to the International Court of Justice at The Hague and both international bodies had urged the neighbouring states not to make use of violence in solving the Aegean Sea issues and to continue with bilateral negotiations in order to achieve a solution in the best interest of both countries. The perspectives of Greece and Turkey always differ on the distribution of the blame for the tensions in the Aegean. Leaders’ references to a “just and lasting solution” rarely accommodate any understanding of what constitutes a fair outcome according to the other side. After a brief historical background on the Greek-Turkish relations, we need to make some remarks on identity, stereotypes, framing and ethnic categorisation. The social groups that shape the identity are characterized by membership criteria and boundaries; in short, they include some people and exclude others. Although it is not necessary for these boundaries to imply tension between groups, in practice relations between groups are far more likely to be “antagonistic than complementary” (Stephan, Ybarra & Rios Morrison, 2009, p. 43). And even when a threat from an outgroup leads to nonhostile behavioural reactions (e.g. compromise, negotiation and deterrence), the emotional responses to threat are likely to be negative. Threats occur in the ongoing relations between groups and their antecedents and consequences are interactive and recursive. That is, a group’s behaviour affects the perceptions and reactions of the other group. A stereotype can be defined as a person’s “knowledge, beliefs and expectancies about a social group” (Hamilton & Trolier, 1986, p. 133). It is known that, once formed, stereotypes or in other words certain beliefs, are applied to all members of the group, regardless the variation they may show in many respects. So stereotyping involves the overgeneralization of attributes to group members (Hamilton, Sherman, Crump & Spencer-Rodgers, 2009, p. 179). Framing often refers to the social construction of a social phenomenon by mass media, political leaders or other actors. It can be described as a process of selective influence over the individual's perception of the meanings attributed to words or phrases. In the context of mass media communication, a frame defines the packaging of an element of rhetoric in such a way as to encourage specific interpretations and to discourage others. Framing techniques can be 130 SECTION: JOURNALISM LDMD I successfully used to reduce the ambiguity of topics by contextualizing the information in a way the recipient /receiver can connect to what he already knows. Michael Bilig argued that the distinction between ‘patriotism’ (rather positively valued) and ‘nationalism’ (presumably equated with extremism) can overlap the implied distinction of ‘us versus them’. He argued that nationalism is the discourse of the ‘others’ (Bilig, 1995, p.16). Therefore, nationalistic discourse engenders emotional responses in both the speaker and the audience. The aim of this research is to show the elements that describe the discourse of the Greek press during the crises. We acknowledge that some printed media texts are constructed to represent the other side negatively and indirectly maintain the Greek-Turkish tension by creating and promoting stereotypes about the Turks. The Greek daily political newspapers that we have selected for analysis are of national distribution: ‘Makedonia’, a non-tabloid paper published in Thesaloniki, ‘Kathimerini’, another non-tabloid newspaper, published in Athens and three tabloid newspapers, all published in Athens: ‘Eleftherotypia’, ‘Ta Nea’ and ‘Eleftheros Typos’. We have reviewed the front-pages of all published issues from July to September 1976, with an emphasis on certain analysis units as it follows: title of the text/article, object, attitude towards the object, subject, theme, place of events, length of the text, genre, author, occasion of reporting and visual presentation. As a rule, the titles are informative, real, non-metaphoric; the only exception is made by ‘Eleftheros Typos’, which often publishes sensational titles. Generally, the articles are short to medium, they tackle themes related to the Turkish vessel itinerary and the bilateral crisis and they are referring to states, state representatives, organizations and public institutions of both countries, with a negative attitude towards the object (being a state, a public / private institution or a representative of a public institution). ‘Makedonia’ and ‘Kathimerini’ are more likely to have a neutral attitude towards the events. Stereotyping, ethnic categorisation and framing refer to the negative image of the other, either hostility or offensiveness. These publications display in their front page stories the Greek interests and criticise the other side. Turkey is perceived as a country that takes advantage of the Greek Government’s goodwill and considers the Aegean Sea a space of claims.

  • Armed Forces Intervention in Post-War Turkey: a Methodological Approach of Greek Newspapers Through Political Analyses
    PHOKION KOTZAGEORGIS ARMED FORCES INTERVENTION IN POST-WAR TURKEY: A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH OF GREEK NEWSPAPERS THROUGH POLITICAL ANALYSES The Press as a political-social phenomenon may influence the forma­ tion of one’s conscience, make or break governments and influence public opinion in a decisive way. As an institution it may play an extremely important role in the writing of a countiy’s contemporary history. It is only recently that this last function of the Press has become the object of scientific research, resulting in the first attempts to write history using newspapers as the basic source. The present article aspires to contribute to the process of ‘deciphering’ the role played by the Press in the formulation or crystallisation of behaviours, political or other, vis-a-vis given facts or phenomena. The article aims at signposting the methodological principles in the presentation by the Greek newspapers of an external affairs event and its use by the political affairs editors of these newspapers. This article was con­ ceived in the course of study of the political game in Turkey as the prominence of the role of the army in that country became evident to the author. The actual cases of army intervention will not be dealt with here; what is of in­ terest is the reaction of the newspapers to the three military interventions in the political life of Turkey. In date order these took place on 27 May 1960, 12 March 1971 and 12 September 1980. The sources chosen are newspapers easily accessible to the public, of differing political persuasions; the time terminus of study is one month be­ fore and one after the date of intervention of the military.

  • 1 Reforms and Collective Action in a Clientelist Party System: Greece
    Reforms and collective action in a clientelist party system: Greece during the Mitsotakis administration (1990-1993)* Aris Trantidis ABSTRACT: Economic reforms face a collective action problem: they trigger the reaction of groups that expect significant losses, while the anticipated gains are often dispersed across the population and too uncertain to animate strong popular support. This pattern may exhibit different characteristics in a clientelist economy where the affected groups are client groups under the protection of political parties. The reform agenda of the Mitsotakis government in Greece (1990-1993) illustrates that the collective action problem affects primarily the internal structure of the clientelist parties and thereby their capacity for political mobilisation. Reforms that depart from the established political equilibrium on economic policy will undermine the internal cohesion of the government party and will offer the opposition party the opportunity to strengthen its own unity and political mobilisation capacity. * This is a draft earlier version of the eponymous article, published in the Journal of South European Society and Politics, 2014, Volume 19, Issue 2, pp. 215-243. Key words: economic reforms, clientelism, political cost, collective action, crisis, Greece Interest groups compete and lobby around the allocation of the benefits and costs of reforms initiated by the government (Alesina and Drazen 1991; Geddes 1994; Heller, Keefer and McCubbins, 1998; Schamis 1999). These groups often act as veto players effectively delaying or blocking reform initiatives (Haggard 2000:28; Tsebelis 2002). Depending on the institutional setting, the government may enjoy a degree of autonomy from group pressures and some room for manoeuvre around the options of co-optation, re-alignment, compromise and compensation (C.f.

  • The Far Right in Greece. Paramilitarism, Organized Crime and the Rise of ‘Golden Dawn’
    Südosteuropa 66 (2018), no. 4, pp. 503-531 SPYRIDON TSOUTSOUMPIS The Far Right in Greece. Paramilitarism, Organized Crime and the Rise of ‘Golden Dawn’ Abstract. The article unravels the ties between conservatism, the state, and the far right in Greece. It explores the complex social and political reasons which facilitated the emergence of far-right groups in Greece during the civil war and have allowed them to survive for seven decades and to flourish from time to time. The author pays particular attention to paramilita- rism as a distinct component of the Greek far right. He follows the activities of ‘Golden Dawn’ and other far-right groups, in particular their paramilitary branches. To the wider public, among the most shocking aspects of the rise of ‘Golden Dawn’ was the use of violence by its paramilitary branch, tagmata efodou. The article examines the far right’s relationship to the state and the security services, and explores its overall role in Greek politics and society. He demonstrates how an understanding of the decades following the civil war are indispensable to making sense of recent developments. Spyridon Tsoutsoumpis is a Visiting Research Fellow at Wolverhampton University’s School of Social Historical and Political Studies and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester’s School of Arts, Languages and Cultures. In Greece’s national elections of 2012 the openly neofascist ‘Golden Dawn’ party (Xrysi Avgi) won an unprecedented 7% of the vote and sent a total of 18 of its members to parliament (MPs). That success created a flurry among scholars, experts, and politicians who rushed to explain the meteoric rise of the far right in Greece.

  • Macedonia in Greek Administration
    Preface When in 1821 Greeks started their revolt against the Ottoman Empire and fought for an independent state they had two major ideological issues to deal with: the identity of the new state and its future borders. If Hellas (Ελλάς) was the appropriate name for Modern Greece and ancient glory the most valuable argument for Greek independence, then how could Macedonia been kept apart? After all it was an integral part of Greek ancient history, which had nourished every single generation of educated people—not only Greeks—even before the war of Greek independence. The legendary figure of Alexander the Great had surfed smoothly over centuries of ignorance escorted by powerful myths and tales to find its appropriate position in the last part of 19th century, ancient history textbooks. They were the chapters of the Macedonian Hegemony and the Hellenistic period (4th and 3rd centuries B.C.), which had brought Greek culture to the frontiers of the then known world. Ancient History proved a very solid and enduring foundation for the modern Greek state. In this context, in the last quarter of the 19th century the case of Macedonia, this ill-defined region, was regarded as the final frontier of Hellenism, which Greece had to defend against the Slavs, if it was to survive as a state and not to end up as a sad caricature of Ancient Hellas. The romantic fight of the Greeks for Macedonia—in fact for the littoral part of it—created its own legend, which was shaped through a series of declared and undeclared wars from the 1878 Eastern Crisis to World War II.
