A push to resolve Greek-Turkish disputes after upcoming elections?

Last week at the Delphi Economic Forum we heard Greece’s main western partners - notably the US and Germany - hint that there will be a push to resolve long-standing Greek-Turkish disputes after the upcoming elections. At the same time, the Forum looked at the dynamic shifts taking place in the Eastern Mediterranean, most notably the 3+1 partnership between Greece, Israel, Cyprus, and the US.
