Mevlut Cavusoglu’s two-day visit to Greece will begin with a private visit to Thrace.
The Turkish Foreign Minister will arrive in Greece on Sunday, May 30, and has received permission to tour Thrace.
While initially, the possibility of the Turkish Foreign Minister going to Crete to meet with Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Nikos Dendias on the island was strong, this possibility was not ruled out. Plans have changed and Mevlut Cavusoglu will begin his journey from Thrace, wanting to signal Ankara’s strong interest in the Muslim minority.
Mr. Cavusoglu’s visit to Thrace is characterized as “private” and according to the data so far, the Turkish delegation is not expected to be accompanied by a member of the Greek government.
