ATHENS (AA) - Greece's foreign minister on Wednesday said the Turkish president's visit last week was successful as it had freed up communication channels between the countries which had been frozen.
Nikos Kotzias was speaking to journalists in a briefing after meeting Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan in Athens.
"The visit was successful because we restored the necessary communication channels that were frozen. It was successful because a series of new negotiations are being prepared," Kotzias said.
Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras talked "sincerely," he added.
Kotzias also said Greek Migration Minister Ioannis Mouzalas would visit Turkey soon, adding that a High-Level Cooperation Council meeting between Turkey and Greece would be held in February.
Erdogan paid a historic two-day visit to Greece on Dec. 7-8, the first by a Turkish president in 65 years.
