The pleasant talks, which sought diplomacy from Turkey to resolve the dispute over the seas, did not last long, blaming Greece for the tensions and problems with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
In order for the two countries to resolve their problems through dialogue, “Greece needs to give up provocations,” the pro-government Daily Sabah reported in a report for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Greek Foreign Minister accused “my friend (Nikos) Dendias” of speaking behind the scenes after a joint press conference after his last meeting in Ankara after he threw an ax at Dendias.
Çavuşoğlu told reporters during the Antalya Diplomatic Forum that former Greek Foreign Ministers Dimitris Avramopoulos and Dora Bakoyannis had refused to attend, and that officials from the Turkish-occupied third part of Cyprus were present.
Çavuşoğlu told reporters that there was an agreement with a gentleman not to hold any training in the Aegean during the summer tourist season. He said: “Greece is now announcing NAVTEX (a ship navigation warning about naval exercises). We also agree not to hold NAVTEX and trainings on national days. Greece also broke it. They must stop these provocations, “said Kathimerini.
Turkey will continue its energy exploration plans outside the Greek islands, and Erdogan said he met with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at a NATO meeting and both said they would refrain from provocations while trying to resolve differences between Greece and Turkey through dialogue.
“Dendias has arrived. I went there … Erdogan and … Mitsotakis met in Brussels. The meeting went well. Have all the problems been solved? No … These talks show our determination to solve our problems through dialogue. This determination and sincerity will continue. Greece must renounce provocations. We go to press conferences and everything is fine, but then my friend Dendias says a lot behind us. There is no need for that. We ignore this, “Cavusoglu said.
He did not recall that Turkey did not recognize the United Nations Maritime Law or the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 unless it called for borders in its favor.
