How Turkish Media Covered Mitsotakis' Visit to Ankara

The Turkish media widely covered the visit of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Ankara and the 6th High-Level Cooperation Council meeting between Greece and Turkey. Most media outlets highlighted messages of dialogue and the statement that “problems are not unsolvable.” Pro-government newspapers emphasized the possibility of resolving issues with goodwill, presenting the visit as a step towards a “new page” in relations. While disagreements regarding the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean were acknowledged, the media focused on statements about dialogue and efforts to manage differences. Some outlets emphasized President Erdogan's address to Mitsotakis as “My friend,” while others referred to the possibility of broader cooperation.
