Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will be meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Athens rather than Thessaloniki, as originally planned, on December 7, it was announced on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' talks in Berlin on Tuesday with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will reportedly cover a wide range of issues focusing on the economy, energy, migration and the Middle East.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday that he "totally" disagrees with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's comments of support for Hamas, "but that is no reason why I should not welcome him to Greece in a little less than a month, where we will discuss our bilateral relations."

The good - and at first glance perhaps surprising - answer is that the war has not yet had any negative impact on bilateral relations, and it can be assumed that this will remain the case.
