Greece and Turkey hold 62nd round of exploratory talks in Athens

Greece and Turkey began another round of exploratory talks in Athens on Tuesday, seeking common ground on a long-standing maritime boundaries dispute. Leading up to today’s talks, Turkey slammed Greece, Cyprus, and Israel over the Euro-Asia interconnector, and has also been attempting to undermine Greece’s relations with Egypt and Israel. The exploratory talks in Athens also took place as EU leaders are preparing to meet later this month to evaluate the bloc’s relationship with Turkey. 

John Psaropoulos, an independent journalist based in Greece and Al Jazeera’s southeast Europe correspondent, joins us today with the key takeaways from the 62nd round of exploratory talks between Greece and Turkey.
