By Ahmet Gencturk

ATHENS (AA) - Türkiye and Greece should work together for a better future, the Greek prime minister said on Thursday.

“We must live in peace, seek solutions to our differences,” said Kyriakos Mitsotakis during a joint press conference with visiting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Athens.

Noting that relations between the two countries have experienced ups and downs in the course of history, including in the near past, Mitsotakis drew attention to the positive impetus since the spring, recalling that it was his third meeting with Erdogan in the last 6 months.

He praised cooperation between the two countries in dealing with irregular migration and said that he plans to visit Ankara in spring next year.

He also revealed a scheme that would allow Turkish citizens to easily get visas to visit Greek islands in the Eastern Aegean.
