Türkiye’s Erdoğan hosts Greek PM, sees ‘no unsolvable problems’ in bilateral ties

Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan told Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during talks in Ankara on Monday that there were "no unsolvable problems" between their countries.

After years of tensions that brought the two to the brink of conflict, they have started taking high-profile steps to improve ties, especially since both leaders were re-elected last year.

"Despite disagreements, we focus on a positive agenda by keeping our dialogue channels open," Erdoğan told a joint press conference with Mitsotakis.


Mitsotakis said the leaders' frequent meetings in recent months had "proved that we neighbours can establish an approach of mutual understanding, not as an exception but as a productive normality". "We showed today that alongside our proven disagreements, we can chart a parallel page of agreements," he added.
