Tsipras Calls on Erdogan to Open New Chapter in Greek-Turkish Relations
Monday, 11 December 2017
The Lausanne Treaty is the cornerstone of Greek-Turkish relations, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said during joint statements with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, after their meeting at the Maximos Mansion in Athens.
Tsipras underlined the importance of enhancing channels of communication between the two countries, noting that Erdogan's visit to Greece was historic, as was the initiative taken by President Prokopios Pavlopoulos to invite him.
The Greek government was aware of the problems that divide Greece and Turkey, he added, as some undermined these relations every day.
