Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Sunday the return of Turkish survey vessel Oruc Reis back to its southern province of Atntalya was a positive first step to ease tensions with Turkey over offshore natural resources.

“The return of Oruc Reis is a positive first step, I hope there will be continuity. We want to talk with Turkey but in a climate without provocations,” Mitsotakis told reporters in Thessaloniki.

He confirmed that dialogue is the only way to tackle the sole problem between the two countries – the delimitation of maritime zones. “The first step (by Turkey) will be the prologue of an improving situation in our bilateral relations,” he said.
