Mistotakis

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed the positive climate and the will to maintain the existing framework of de-escalation in Greek-Turkish relations during their meeting on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 79th UN General Assembly in New York.

With the Turkish Oruc Reis research vessel in the Greek continental shelf and the fleets of both countries in a tense standoff, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent a twofold message to Turkey on Wednesday stating that Greece is willing to have an honest dialogue, but will not back way from any challenge.
