[01] Greek, Turkish FMs discuss EU-Turkey ties, Cyprus issue during NYC
meeting
NEW YORK CITY (ANA) -- Turkey's European prospects, the long-standing
Cyprus issue, bilateral relations as well as scheduling of an official
visit by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis to Ankara dominated a meeting
here on Sunday between the Greek and Turkish foreign ministers.
Petros Molyviatis and Abdullah Gul met at Turkey's permanent delegation
to the United Nations, as both foreign ministers were in New York for
the United Nations' 60th General Assembly. A similar meeting was held
last year on the General Assembly sidelines at Greece's permanent
delegation.
"Our talks today were held in a very positive and friendly atmosphere.
We reviewed the course of bilateral relations and re-asserted our will
towards continuing efforts for a further improvement in the relations
of our two countries," Greece's Molyviatis said.
He added that both sides examined possible future dates for the Greek
premier's visit to Ankara.
