“The 63rd round of the Consultative Talks will take place in Ankara on 6 October 2021,” the Ministry said.

Turkey and Greece are at odds over issues such as competing claims over jurisdiction in the east Mediterranean, ethnically split Cyprus, air space, energy and the status of islands in the Aegean Sea.

Two sides agreed in January to resume talks after a five-year hiatus following months of tensions.

They have since then held two rounds of talks, with the previous one in Athens in March. (ILKHA)
