Turkiye attaches great importance to the meetings with Greece to discuss Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) and gives emphasis to the importance of positive dialogue between the two sides, sources at the Turkish defence ministry said on Thursday, during the regular weekly press briefing. The sources also referred to the next meeting to discuss CBMs, which is being scheduled for April 22.
“This is a period in which we are mutually focusing on a positive agenda with Greece”. During this time when we are giving emphasis to the importance of maintaining a positive dialogue between the two sides, we believe that establishing a sincere and constructive relationship with an approach focused on a solution will benefit both countries.
From this point of view, we attach great importance to the meetings on CBMs. We believe that the meetings on CBMs are an important opportunity to continue the dialogue between the two sides and, consequently, the next meeting is planned to take place in Athens toward the end of April. As Turkiye….we repeat at every opportunity that we retain our determination not to jeopardise our national interests,” the sources said, when asked to confirm the schedule for the meeting in Athens.
