As Proto Thema is informed, the president of Turkey presented the Greek prime minister with a book on the history of Gaza.
According to the outlet, the gift was received by the diplomatic advisor of the Turkish presidency, Akif Çağatay Kılıç, who requested it from the communication director, Fahrettin Altun, while the Mitsotakis-Erdoğan meeting was in progress.
The director of the diplomatic office of the Greek Prime Minister, Anna Maria Eleni Boura carried the gifts from the Greek side.
It is recalled that Mr Erdoğan has disputed the designation of Hamas as a terrorist organisation and has come out strongly against Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu since the war in Israel began.
On the other hand, Greece has condemned the terrorist attack by Hamas, has expressed its support for Israel's right to self-defence and is asking for the release of the hostages as well as humanitarian support for the Palestinians in Gaza.
