Fidan urges cooperation in Eastern Mediterranean at Sofia talks
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met his Greek counterpart Giorgos Gerapetritis in Sofia on June 10, calling for a responsible approach to regional issues and saying the Eastern Mediterranean should be an area of cooperation rather than tension.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) Summit of Heads of State and Government, according to the Turkish Foreign Ministry.
Diplomatic sources said the two ministers discussed Türkiye-Greece relations and regional cooperation.
Fidan said a draft maritime jurisdiction bill currently before the Turkish parliament was a matter of domestic legislation, stressing that Türkiye respected international law and good neighborly relations.
