A meeting in New York City between Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lasted for roughly one hour on Tuesday, with government sources in Athens later saying that practically all bilateral issues were broached.
As with previous such meetings between Greek and Turkish leaders over the past three decades or so, discussions touched on the situation in the Aegean, the long-standing Cyprus problem and EU-Turkey relations, among others.
Both men are in the US metropolis for the 73rd UN general assembly.
The last time Tsipras met with the increasingly authoritarian Turkish leader was on July 12, on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Brussels.
Another meeting was scheduled at roughly 1 p.m. (EST) on Tuesday between the three guarantor powers for Cyprus, i.e. Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
