According to a press release from the premier's office, they discussed bilateral relations and especially the developments of economic relations and business cooperation between France and Greece.

    [02] Turkish authorities release six men detained while fishing between Chios and Turkish coast

    Turkish authorities on Tuesday released the five Greek nationals and one Greek-American detained while fishing near the islet Paspargos, in waters between Chios and the Turkish coast, on board the vessel "Mia".

    The six men were taken to Cesme on the Turkish coast on Monday night and transferred to Izmir on Tuesday morning, where the Turkish coast guard asked to verify their identities after their craft allegedly entered Turkish territorial waters.

    Based on the information available, the vessel belongs to a company owned by the Greek-American detainee while the Greek foreign ministry has been alerted to the incident and the Greek General Consulate in Izmir had stepped in to secure the release of the six men.

    They were released at around 15:00 and will return to Cesme from Izmir and depart on their boat, heading back to Chios, after they go through the necessary customs and administrative processing.

    Seven Pakistani and Bangladeshi migrants aged between 18 and 24 years old were on Tuesday charged with rioting and disturbing the peace, as well as violations of weapons law, for the incidents that took place at the Moria hotspot on Monday. They are also accused of actively taking part in acts of violence, of throwing stones and other objects at staff and police officers and against the facilities.

    The incidents at the hotspot on Monday culminated in a fire that caused extensive damage to facilities and equipment, fully destroying eight huts used by the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) containing electronic equipment and causing damage to another three.
