Although the "hot incident" between Foreign Ministers Dendias and Cavusoglu was surprising in terms of its intensity, it is not an exception in terms of the way in which the public debate between states is sometimes conducted.

The foreign ministers of Greece and Turkey on Thursday clashed on a wide range of issues during a heated news conference that underscored the trouble the two historic rivals will have at mending their broken ties, Agence France-Presse reported.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, will be in Ankara tomorrow, where he will have a private meeting with his Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoglu. There will then be extended talks between the two delegations and joint statements to the press.
