Turkey is seeking to open a new chapter in its relations with both the United States and the European Union.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will visit the Greek community on the island of Halki (known by Turks as Heybeliada) and the Theological Seminary, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew said during a Greek Orthodox church service in Istanbul on Friday.

A House of Representatives subcommittee has unanimously approved an advisory resolution to call on the Turkish government to re-open the Halki Seminary without conditions, or further delay.
