Greek FM travels to Turkey for talks about fraught relations

-

ANKARA, Turkey – Greece’s foreign minister traveled to Ankara on Thursday for talks on the two NATO allies’ frayed relationsh­ip, following a slight easing of tensions between the neighbors. The visit is the first between the two nations after a tumultuous year. Angered by what it perceived to be a lack of support for its policies in Syria, Turkey last year said it was opening its western borders, prompting thousands of migrants to gather at entry points to Greece, which promptly closed them. This led to chaotic scenes at the frontier.
