Well, not exactly. You get a better context if you say that the two countries have a sweet little history going back to byzantium, where turks invaded, greeks invaded, turks invaded, greeks invaded, turks invaded,...

PS: And yes, it was the ottoman empire, etc, but that's semantics.

Does that change the fact that this was an invasion? Last time Ottomans invaded Anatolia was 12th century. Current Greece was invaded in end of 15th century. And Greece tried to invade Anatolia in 20th century.
