Greek government spokeswoman, Aristotelia Peloni, said on Monday that Greece wants to keep channels of communication with Turkey open.

“Greece seeks [to maintain] open channels of communication with Turkey and the consolidation of a positive atmosphere that will allow the easing of tensions and the adoption of a positive agenda,” Peloni said during a press briefing, adding that Athens recently submitted a proposal to Turkey outlining 15 areas of possible economic cooperation.

Last week, the foreign ministers of the two countries clashed openly at a joint news conference in Ankara after a third round of meetings.
