Athens appears troubled by Turkey's reconciliation with Egypt, which is facing major economic problems as a result of the Middle East conflict. Ankara is utilizing economic incentives, but Turkey and Egypt also appear to be on the same page on regional matters, such as the situation in Somalia.

Türkiye and Iraq signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Thursday focused on cooperation in security, military, and counterterrorism efforts, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced.

Türkiye will continue to bridge the gaps between Somalia and Ethiopia "in a manner that will benefit" not only the two nations but the whole region, said the country's foreign minister on Tuesday.

Speaking to his U.S. counterpart, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Monday urged Israel to avoid "provocative actions" that could lead to further escalation of conflicts, expressing his concern over rising tensions in the region.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has called for the establishment of a "security pact" in the Middle East following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Wednesday he was "deeply saddened" to hear that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh had been "martyred," adding that he had become a symbol of Palestinian resistance.

The intensity of the diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions between Greece and Turkey over the past few days attests to the seriousness of the incident.
