The meeting of the two Foreign Ministers was held as a replacement of a meeting that had been planned between Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.

Kotzias is set to meet with Guterres at 4pm (11pm Cyprus time).
After his meeting with Guterres, Cavusoglu said: “We can reach a settlement. We not only need this for Turkey, Greece and the two sides on the island, but for the Eastern Mediterranean – our region – and the world needs such a positive development. It is not easy, but we have the determination.”
Ahead of his meetings in New York, Cavusoglu said that that Turkey will not make concessions on the Cyprus issue.
