 Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan met with Greek Prime Minister Kiryakos Mitsotakis on an Athens on December 7, in a visit both countries hope can reboot ties after years of friction. Erdogan earlier held talks with President Katerina Sakilaropoulos, where he sounded an upbeat note on the future of Greco-Turkish relations. Erdogan and Mitsotakis were expected to make statements later in Greece and Turkey. Neighbors and NATO allies have been at odds for decades over issues, including where they're. Global shelves start and end, energy resources, overflights of the Aegean Sea, and ethnically split Cyprus. They reached the brink of war in the 1990s and over the past years they have argued over energy resources in the eastern Mediterranean, defense issues, migration, and the acquisition of fighter jets, which paused diplomatic talks. Relations improved after Greece sent aid to Turkey following a devastating earthquake in February. Both Erdogan and Greek Prime Minister Kiryakos Mitsotakis re-elections this year also eased political pressure and allowed them to put rivalry aside.
