What was agreed during the private dinner between Gerapetritis and Fidan regarding Mitsotakis' visit to Turkey, and the next steps in Greek-Turkish relations

May is already shaping up to be a busy month diplomatically, and there are unconfirmed reports of a planned diplomatic tour by President Erdoğan, possibly including a stop in Washington for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump

The U.S. says it raised concerns over recent protests in Turkey with the country's foreign minister—claims Turkey denies.

The development comes on the heels of a tirade by Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, where he 're-drew', in comments at least, Turkey's border to include Greece's second largest city, Thessaloniki

In an interview with a Turkish newspaper, Fidan conveyed a “message” advocating for a win-win approach or “kazan-kazan” in Turkish, regarding issues in the Aegean Sea that concern both countries.

The recent Mitsotakis-Erdogan meeting highlights how Greece and Turkey's MFAs navigate a minefield of bilateral issues to maintain the positive agenda. Meanwhile, statements made by Greek political leaders in reaction to the meeting have set off domestic bickering

The top Greek diplomat reiterated the need for the alliance to fully support Ukraine as the whole “architecture” of international security based on the strict adherence to international law and fidelity in upholding the principles of sovereignty and self-determination were at stake
