Can Türkiye and Greece Keep Up the Momentum in Repairing Ties?
There are no unsolvable problems between Athens and Ankara. That's how Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, summed up his meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The meeting came as both leaders said they were determined to solve decades-long issues while showing strong commitment to their renewed friendship.
Prime Minister Mitsotakis acknowledged Türkiye’s positive contribution to stopping human traffickers, as both countries deal with irregular migration over land and in the Aegean Sea. The thaw in relations is expected to also benefit the Turkish minority in Greece’s Western Thrace, which has been struggling with a series of bans on their schools and mosques. The meeting, their fourth in the last ten months, comes as the two NATO allies continue to see warming ties after years of tensions. They have included maritime disputes in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, and finding a solution for a divided Cyprus.
Strait Talk, hosted by Ayse Suberker, is TRT World’s programme that features in-depth analysis of Türkiye’s role in the world
