As Greece and Turkey prepare for the upcoming Supreme Cooperation Council meeting, tensions are high as both countries struggle to agree on the agenda. While Greece wants to focus solely on maritime zones and the continental shelf, Turkey is pushing for a broader discussion that includes a multitude of issues.
Turkish journalists believe that despite the differences in agenda, Turkey is committed to resolving its disputes with Greece. The focus on the US presidential election has temporarily shifted Turkey’s attention away from the impending meeting, but preparations are still underway.
The meeting between Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Greek counterpart, George Gerapetritis, is set to take place just days after the US election, with the aim of laying the groundwork for the January summit. Deputy foreign ministers from both countries are also expected to meet ahead of the Council meeting.
The commitment from both sides to achieving positive outcomes at the Supreme Cooperation Council is evident, despite the challenges in determining the meeting agenda. With high hopes for a drama-free resolution, all eyes are on the upcoming negotiations between the two neighboring nations.
