Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will pay a three-day official visit to Greece, starting on Thursday.
“The two prime ministers will discuss Greek-Turkish bilateral relations and will exchange opinions on regional and international issues,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement announcing the visit. Erdogan, who will be accompanied by a business delegation, will also meet with President Costis Stephanopoulos and Parliament Speaker Anna Psarouda-Benaki. At the end of his visit on Saturday, Erdogan will pay a private visit to Komotini in Western Thrace, where most of Greece’s 120,000 Muslims live. It will be the first time a Turkish prime minister will have visited the border region since 1952.
