ANKARA, 16 April, 2021 (TON): The Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu assured that Turkey believes that its issues with Greece can be resolved through constructive dialogue between the two neighbors and allies.

At a joint press conference with his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias said Cavusoglu, Fait accompli and provocative rhetoric should be avoided in relations between Turkey and Greece.

After months of tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean last year between the two countries, the Greek minister visited Turkey's capital Ankara.

Cavusoglu stated, "We want to continue this dialogue without preconditions. As two neighbors, as allies, we want to develop our relations with Greece in every field.”

He added, "Today we discussed what we can do to improve relations in the coming period."

On the other hand, Dendias, agreed that the communications channels between the two countries should remain open.

He stated, "Our primary goal is to establish peaceful coexistence based on international law."

However, it was emphasized that seeking solutions to bilateral problems through third parties is not the right approach and that Greece and Turkey can create a positive agenda in the field of economy.
