Turkey's Defence Minister Hulusi Akar says he had a constructive meeting with his Greek counterpart Nikos Panagiotopoulos at NATO defence ministers gathering, expecting positive outcomes
Turkish National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar speaks to media after NATO Defense Ministers Meeting in Brussels, Belgium on October 22, 2021.
Turkey’s defence minister has said he had a "positive" meeting with his Greek counterpart in Brussels, on the sidelines of a gathering of their NATO colleagues. "We had a positive and constructive meeting with the Greek defence minister ," Hulusi Akar told reporters.He reiterated that provocative actions and rhetoric that ramp up tensions between the two nations "would not be beneficial."
On Greece's defence pact with France reached earlier this month, Akar said that since all three countries are members of NATO, such alliances threaten to “harm both NATO and bilateral relations and undermine trust." In recent years Turkey and Greece have been at loggerheads on such issues as a fair demarcation of maritime boundaries and energy resources and Athens’ militarization of Aegean islands in violation of longstanding treaties.

Erdogan in comments made to local media outlets on Thursday criticized ambassadors of Western allies for their call for Kavala's release. 'Since there is no possibility of a fair trial under these circumstances, I believe participating in hearings and delivering my defence will be meaningless from now on,' Kavala said in a written statement.
