(ANSA-AFP) - ATHENS, DEC 7 - Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan travels to Athens on Thursday in a keenly watched visit
billed as an attempted "new chapter" between the NATO allies and
historic rivals after years of tension. In meetings with Greek
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and President Katerina
Sakellaropoulou, the fiery Turkish leader is expected to discuss
trade, regional issues and the perennially thorny issue of
migration. In an interview with Greek daily Kathimerini a day
before his five-hour visit on Thursday, Erdogan said he was
seeking a "new chapter" in relations on the basis of "win-win"
principles. Ankara has served as a migration bulwark since a
2016 deal with the European Union, which Mitsotakis and fellow
EU leaders hope to update. (ANSA-AFP).
