“We Have Proposed Creative Solutions to the Greeks” Says Fidan

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that they have proposed "creative solutions" to Greece for the development of Greek-Turkish relations, accusing Nikos Dendias of hindering their progress. He argued that both Mitsotakis and Geraptertis have the ability and intention to solve the issues, but the domestic political environment in Greece, with figures like Dendias, doesn't favor it. Fidan mentioned Turkey presented these solutions in informal summits and that it's an indication of intent. Simultaneously, he avoided commenting on a question regarding the possibility of Turkey acquiring nuclear weapons, giving an ambiguous answer. Fidan’s silence raised interest, given the strategic importance of the issue. The statements by Fidan were made hours before the Mitsotakis – Erdogan meeting and are interpreted as an attempt to create a positive climate, despite previous provocative statements by representatives of the ruling party in Turkey. The emphasis on the personality of Nikos Dendias suggests the Turkish side’s perception that the specific minister is an obstacle to reaching an agreement. Overall, Fidan’s statements portray an attempt to categorize Greece as being part of the problem in Greek-Turkish relations, while emphasizing their willingness to compromise. The issue of nuclear weapons remained unresolved during the negotiations.
