Colleagues of the Prime Minister stated to protothema.gr that they “do not expect anything shocking” from today’s meeting while referring to what Kyriakos Mitsotakis said at Sunday’s press conference at TIF.
“A meeting between me and President Erdogan will always be a matter of great interest, but the normalization of communication channels is welcome for two countries that are doomed by geography to be neighbors,” he had said.
