Preparations in Athens and Ankara have been accelerated before the Turkish-Greek High Level Cooperation Council (YDIK) to be held in Thessaloniki on December 7, under the chairmanship of AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Greek Prime Minister Kiriakos Mitsotakis.
According to the news of Yorgo Kirbaki from Hürriyet, Erdoğan and Mitsotakis decided to open a new page in the relations between the two countries during their meeting in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, on July 12, and at the YDIK meeting in Thessaloniki, they took action against trade, tourism and natural disasters. The final touches are being made to sign a number of agreements such as the fight. One of the most important agreements expected to be signed is the cooperation between the two countries against illegal immigration.
THERE ARE 7 ISLANDS IN THE DRAFT
According to the news, after the meeting of the Greek Minister of Immigration and Asylum Dimitirs Keridis with the Minister of Internal Affairs Ali Yerlikaya in Ankara at the beginning of the week, the outlines of this draft agreement, whose negotiations are still ongoing, were leaked to the Greek media. According to Kathimerini newspaper, in the draft of the agreement titled “memorandum of understanding”, it is envisaged that Turkish citizens will be granted a 1-year “visa on arrival” in the Aegean islands of Rhodes, Lesbos, Samos, Chios, Kos, Leros and Meis. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, the “visa on arrival” application on the islands was limited to only 15 days.

They are opening doors for Turks to leave as they needs to make space for new Arab citizens.
