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.
