Abstract
The "Imia Crisis" was a painful, for the Greek side, episode in the long continuum of modern Greek-Turkish relations. The handling process of the Crisis was a typical manifestation of the pathologies characterizing both the Greek state and the Greek society, which constitutes the former’s political expression.
The Greek society, in the post-Crisis period, found itself not only incompletely informed on what happened during the night of January 30-31, 1996 but also forced to experience, Greek society found itself incompletely informed about everything that happened on the night of January 30-31, 1996, called to experience the loss of three members of the Armed Forces and to accept what had been done.
Although essentially Greek sovereignty did not suffer any decrease, formally, as a result of the Crisis, since what was agreed the following year in Madrid did not affect Greek sovereignty, nevertheless the whole handling of that fateful night awakened nightmares of the past, as far as the Greek-Turkish confrontation is concerned and led to collective anxiety and uncertainty.
Although Greek society entered the phase of denial, the most characteristic example of which was the electoral reward "retrospectively" of the government that handled the crisis, however, the Greek citizens experienced without awareness the archetype of ‘shadow’ along with a bitterness deep within their personal unconscious, which contributed to finally experiencing the crisis as a "collective" mourning.
