In a significant diplomatic move, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is set to travel to Greece to work on resolving long-standing bilateral disputes. The key focus will be on addressing contentious issues of maritime zones and airspace between the two neighboring nations.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, speaking after his visit to Serbia, emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation in fostering better relations. Despite their shared NATO membership, Greece and Turkey have had a turbulent relationship, marred by historical tensions and differing stances on regional matters.

According to Erdogan, a mutual willingness to identify, outline, and tackle these issues underpins the potential for progress. By aligning maritime and airspace boundaries with international law, the two countries hope to enhance regional security and avoid future conflicts.
