Turkish, Greek defense ministers talk bilateral issues
Hulusi Akar and Evangelos Apostolakis meet on sidelines of NATO meeting in Brussels
The Turkish and Greek defense ministers have agreed to establish technical working groups to address issues including confidence-building measures, the Turkish Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
On the sidelines of a NATO meeting in Brussels, Turkey's Hulusi Akar and Greece's Evangelos Apostolakis met and discussed current issues between the two countries, the ministry said in a statement.
Their meeting comes off the heels of last week's official visit to Turkey of Alexis Tsipras, Greece's prime minister.
Later on Wednesday, Akar met with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and discussed issues related to the alliance.
Akar also met with his Georgian counterpart Levan Izoria and Montenegrin counterpart Predrag Boskovic.
