(MENAFN) The US agreed on recent talks between Greek and Turkish officials, stressing they are an important step to attain more unity in the transatlantic union.
"This is a time when we need unity and cohesion between our allies, certainly between and among our NATO allies. We always regret the escalation of provocative statements," State Department spokesman Ned Price informed journalists.
"The tensions within an alliance between two alliance members certainly does not help anyone.
To that end, we welcome the recent meeting in Brussels between Anna-Maria Boura, Prime Minister Mitsotakis' diplomatic advisor, and Ibrahim Kalin, President Erdogan's spokesperson and chief advisor, and we continue to encourage these discussions at all levels," he also said.
The remarks come following a meeting between senior officials from Greece, Türkiye and Germany Monday in Brussels with German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit stating more discussions are possible.
