Mitsotakis sees ‘no prospect’ for talks on EEZ, continental shelf with Turkey

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis discussed Greek-Turkish relations, the New Democracy party, and the electoral law for 2027, speaking on the second day of the "50 Years of Greek Foreign Policy" conference hosted by the Greek newspaper To Vima.
