Erdogan to visit Greece today

Greece is rolling out the red carpet for a visit this week by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, hoping to improve often-frosty ties between the two neighbours and Nato allies. Security in Athens will be tight for Erdogan’s arrival on Thursday, when he will meet Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the country’s largely ceremonial president, Prokopis Pavlopoulos.
