    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Turkish President Erdogan is visiting Athens today, a significant diplomatic mission aimed at recalibrating the historically strained relations between the neighbouring states.

    Greece, amidst a growth spurt after a decade of financial turmoil, and Turkey, grappling with crippling inflation and waning international investments, are looking for common economic ground that could benefit both countries.

    This effort to improve relations with Greece also plays a crucial role in Turkey’s broader strategy to mend ties with the European Union and other Western allies.

    Ten members of Mitsotakis’ cabinet are slated to attend the bilateral meetings, with a primary focus on signing declarations and cooperation agreements with their Turkish counterparts.

    In response, Greece accuses Turkey of violating international law, creating a complex and longstanding conflict that has brought the countries close to war on multiple occasions.

    On Erdogan’s previous visit to Athens in 2017, live television captured an awkward encounter where both sides aired grievances on issues ranging from the treatment of ethnic minorities and religious freedoms to the need to update international treaties and resolve the division of Cyprus.
