Erdogan Halts Bilateral Talks with Greece as Tensions Mount

Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan has abruptly cut high-level bilateral talks with Greece after both countries accused one another of violating each other's airspaces, largely involving disputed islands in the Aegean Sea. Tensions between the two countries continue to mount, with Erdogan warning "Don't you learn any lessons from history? Don't try to dance with Turkey." It was only a year ago when bilateral talks between the two countries resumed after a five year hiatus, with topics ranging from natural resource rights and territorial claims over disputed islands. All and all, the past year has not seen any meaningful headway during the talks, but rather intensifying saber rattling.
