Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he remains open to communication with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"I am always ready to meet with the Turkish president," Mitsotakis said at a press conference in Thessaloniki on Sunday, adding that he hoped for talks at the first meeting of the European Political Community in Prague in early October. The heads of state and government of 44 countries are to be invited.
Despite the escalation, Mitsotakis said he "cannot imagine a war between Greece and Türkiye.” He added that the "aggressive rhetoric undermines good neighborly relations between Greece and Türkiye.”
