Turkish minister will visit Greece over ban on vessels sailing to Greece

Turkish Transport Minister Ahmet Arslan said he will visit Greece on Oct. 11 to discuss Ankara’s ban on Turkish-flagged commercial yachts and regular passenger ships sailing to Greece.

The ban came on Sept. 25 after Greek authorities seized 11 Turkish vessels for alleged violations of maritime regulations. A ban was also issued on regular passenger ships as of Oct.12.

“We will hold a meeting with the relevant minister in Greece on Oct. 12,” said Arslan in an interview with Anadolu Agency on Oct. 6.
