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.

Conflict in the Horn of Africa, the Turkey factor, and why it matters for Greece
