TL;DR Summary

Turkish President Erdogan claims that the "problems of Western Thrace" were the main issue he discussed with Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis at the NATO summit. Erdogan wants to address the appointment of muftis for the Muslim minority in Thrace, with Turkey advocating for their election by the minority community. Both leaders plan to hold meetings and take necessary steps to resolve the issue. Mitsotakis, following the meeting, announced a bold agenda to improve Greek-Turkish relations, aiming to bring the bilateral dispute over the delimitation of the continental shelf and exclusive economic zone to the International Court of Justice.
