Last week, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made an official visit to Ankara, accompanied by a delegation of ministers. The meeting unfolded as expected for a 'typical' bilateral contact between two historical rivals with longstanding differences: it featured discussions in a friendly and calm atmosphere. However, despite the positive tone, the underlying disagreements remained unresolved, and no significant developments emerged—contrary to what some observers might have anticipated. Mitsotakis referred to the Turkish casus belli, a term rarely used in such high-level bilateral meetings. This mention indicates the seriousness of ongoing tensions that continue to shape the relationship between Greece and Turkey. The context of the visit also included Turkey's broader revisionist behavior, notably marked by the recent NAVTEX issued in the Aegean, which serves as a reminder of the persistent disputes between the two nations. The satisfaction that accompanied a meeting with no specific outcomes suggests that Greece may be seeking to manage its relationship with Turkey more strategically, opting for dialogue in hopes of softening tensions rather than provoking them further. However, as unresolved issues linger, the future of Greek-Turkish relations remains uncertain and complex.
