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. Expert Konstantinos Filis, the Director of the Institute of Global Affairs and an Associate Professor at the American College of Greece, joins Thanos Davelis to break down whether a compromise between Athens and Ankara could be on the horizon following elections, and look into what more Washington can do to send the message that the 3+1 partnership is a top priority.
