According to government sources, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in New York on the night of September 23, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

On Monday at noon, Kyriakos Mitsotakis departs for New York where he will participate in the work of the UN General Assembly, and his speech will take place on Friday, September 26th.

It is noted that during his interview yesterday, the prime minister had stated that there was an intention of both parties. At the same time, on the issue of the EEZ demarcation, he reiterated that Greece is not opposed to the issue of the issue to the International Court of Justice provided that Turkey recognizes that there is a single difference and noted that “Greece will never discuss any issues of disarmament or obvious issues. The more these issues come to the table, the more difficult to resolve our big difference, which is the demarcation of marine zones, namely EEZ and continental shelf. We can learn to live with our differences and if we cannot solve this issue we will not be able to solve it. This does not mean, however, that the thermometer must be in the red and that we must be permanently in an environment of constant tension. ”

At the same time, Mr Mitsotakis said that “the Greek government is seeking calm waters, but at the same time in the last six months, it has completed the maritime spatial planning, pending many years. He took the first steps to proclaim maritime parks by exercising not sovereign rights, sovereignty over Greek islands. Complete the first phase of Chevron’s competition. Greece did not rest on the calm waters without practicing an active foreign policy and makes sense. “
