The Greece-Turkey talks which have been bruited about for some time, but not finalized, have now been set for January 25, according to a statement from the Greek Foreign Ministry on Monday evening.
The 61st first round of what are diplomatically termed “Investigative Contacts” will take place in Istanbul on January 25, 2021, the Foreign Ministry says.
According to diplomatic sources, just a few hours ago the Turkish side contacted Greek officials and suggested that the diplomatic parleys take place in Istanbul on January 25.
Greek officials accepted the invitation, and the much-anticipated talks will take place exactly two weeks from now. Earlier in the day, a minor brouhaha had taken place when it was noted that Turkey had not yet invited the Greek side nor informed the EU that the talks were going to take place.
