Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and Hellenic Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Vilnius July 11th, Mitsotakis’ office said a day after he won a national election.

Mitsotakis was sworn in for a second term as Prime Minister on Monday following a resounding election win.

Ergodan, who was elected to his third term last month, congratulated Mitsotakis in a phone call, the Turkish Presidency said.

He said the 2 re-elected governments create an opportunity for bilateral relations between the neighboring countries.

Greece and Turkey, both NATO allies but historic foes, have been at odds for decades over a range of issues from airspace to maritime zones in the eastern Mediterranean, migration and ethnically split Cyprus.
