Intentions Will Be Investigated Before Erdogan Invitation

Government Spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis stated that before inviting Turkish President Erdogan to the informal European Council in Cyprus next April, his intentions will be investigated. He believes this is the correct approach, as a simple invitation without prior investigation could give Erdogan the opportunity to provoke reactions and create domestic criticism. However, Mr. Letymbiotis emphasized that Nicosia does not have a negative attitude towards sending invitations to Ankara. The investigation of Erdogan's intentions is considered crucial to avoid potential tensions and ensure that his presence contributes positively to the Council's discussions.
