Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ upcoming meeting with President Erdogan in September will be crucial in determining if further discussions will take place between Greece and Turkey. Both leaders are hesitant about the prospects for dialogue due to domestic political pressures and unresolved issues like Cyprus and maritime zones.
