Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu estimated that the ties with the EU improved, after the summit of that regional bloc held in December 2020 and the recent visit to Ankara by its executives, Anadolu agency informed.

Cavusoglu clarified the misunderstandings arising as of the place conferred to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a meeting here with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The foreign minister explained that before the talks, the protocol specialists from the EU and Turkey agreed on the places planned for Von der Leyen and President of the European Council Charles Michael.

Ankara and Brussels talked, among other issues, about the perspectives of Turkish entry into the community bloc and migration issues, the capital’s press highlighted.

Similarly, both sides discussed about the state of this country’s talks with Greece to solve the dispute over seismological explorations in waters, whose jurisdiction is claimed by Athens and Nicosia.
