On December 16, the Belgian capital, Brussels, hosted a tripartite meeting, in which the spokesman for the presidency of the Republic, Ibrahim Kalin, participated on the Turkish side, in addition to the foreign and security policy adviser to the German chancellor, Jens Plotner, and the director of the diplomatic office of the Greek Prime Minister, Anna Maria Bora.
The meeting, which took place after weeks of tension between Ankara and Athens, dealt with ways to revive communication channels between the two countries.
Turkey, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for more than 70 years, expresses through all platforms its dissatisfaction with Greece’s repeated provocative actions and rhetoric in the region in recent months.
