This is the same place that the Turkish side chose this year, as opposed to last year’s meeting, which had been held in a UN hall indicated by Athens.
Bilateral and regional issues will be discussed during the meeting. The composition will be 1 + 2, ie the two leaders, the foreign ministers George Gerapetritis and Hakan Fidan And diplomatic advisers Miltos Nikolaidis and Tsagatai Kilits.
A few hours before the appointment with the Turkish President, Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet with the President of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulidesin a contact that is considered preparatory ahead of the tet with Erdogan.
It is noted that the peak points between the two leaders are three: Greece’s stance on the SAFE program, the Cyprus -Crete electric interconnection and the Libyan field, while the climate in Greek -Turkish relations is more burdensome than last year, with Ankara reacting to Athens’ movements to defend its sovereign rights.
For its part, the Greek government stresses that it supports the dialogue, but without questioning issues of sovereignty. “This government has chosen to grow Greece substantially. Has chosen the dialogue and not a conflicting logic of pseudo -patriotism ยปThe government spokesman P. Marinakis said characteristically, noting that “Greece protects its borders, expands its strategic alliances and emerges as a force of stability.”

Along with Tuesday’s crucial appointment, the prime minister will have a series of contacts with foreign leaders, investors and representatives of energy, defense and pharmaceutical companies. On Friday, he will speak his speech at the UN General Assembly, and earlier on the same day he will meet with the Secretary General of the Organization, Antonio Guterres.
On Wednesday, Kyriakos Mitsotakis will address a meal co -organized by 28 homogenous organizations and will attend the Ecumenical Patriarch with the Templeton Award.
In the parallel diplomatic field, Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis already participated in an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council, at the request of Estonia for violations of its airspace by Russian aircraft. The Greek Foreign Minister condemned “every breach of state border either in the air, on the ground, or at sea” and called on Russia to stop its destabilizing policy.
Of particular interest is also expected at the Palestinian meeting, with 150 countries already recognizing the Palestinian state, which intensifies Israel’s isolation and complicates the balances on the international stage.
Despite the dense diplomatic program, the Athens and Ankara eye remains focused on Tuesday’s critical meeting, which will show whether there may be progress in Greek -Turkish dialogues or whether the differences will continue to burden the relations between the two countries.
