The next steps in Greek-Turkish relations will be at stake in a meeting on Tuesday between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. 

A meeting between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was underway in Ankara on Monday, in a one-day visit aimed at maintaining the positive momentum achieved in bilateral ties in recent months.
