Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Türkiye and Greece are committed to advancing dialogue and cooperation as both neighbors pursue a more stable period in bilateral relations, APA reports citing Daily Sabah.
Speaking at a joint news conference with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Erdoğan stressed that the two countries must keep communication channels open “as two neighboring allies committed to cooperation.”
Erdoğan said he conveyed to Mitsotakis Türkiye’s expectation that the Turkish minority in Western Thrace fully enjoy their religious freedoms and educational rights. He underscored that these rights form the human dimension of the two countries’ relationship and must be protected with a sense of “historic responsibility.”
On longstanding disputes in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, Erdoğan said that although the issues are complex, they are not “unsolvable” when approached through international law. He added that he and Mitsotakis are “on the same page” in their view that diplomatic engagement remains the most constructive path forward.
