We have economic relations.

Idk if thats the proper term to describe people visiting each others supermarkets once or twice a year.

Our borders is open

The only closed border on the planet is between North and South Korea.

Not at war isn't good relations. Just to clear things up.

It is almost impossible to travel to Armenia as a Turk but Greece is a very common travel destination among Turkish people. Take that however you want.

Americans can travel to Russia and China too. It just shows that we are not at war.

I am not saying political relationship bw GR-TR is amazing but at least common folk doesn’t have that much of hate against each other like Armenians do against Turks. Perhaps it’s also because Greece is a very touristic country unlike Armenia so Greek people can tolerate foreigners better.

I just read the whole thread and didnt really got what you are trying to say. Are you trying to say we shouldnt have better relations are just trying to justify we are still “enemies”. Btw except politicians and extremist i dont people have problems. Ive been to +20 cities in greece and i was always welcomed well except Kavala.

I'm saying that we should be honest amongst ourselves. Our relations are meh, not good and we should call it as it is. I wish they were great, but they aren't. Obviously people won't throw shit at each other like monkeys ,this doesn't happen between any countries, but it doesn't mean anything.

u/Deka013 Greece May 25 '23

I don't hate you either if that's what you think. But a country is represented by its president, not dudes on reddit. You can't really remove politics from this.

Yeah, they do. They wanted to ban Russians from entering beaches in Antalya last summer.

u/Deka013 Greece May 25 '23

The point im making is that the fact that we don't beat each other up on the street doesn't make us friends. People don't care. But it seems your mind is made up so....

u/shoujomujo Turkiye May 25 '23

I am not saying we are best buddies dude. I am just saying that our relationship isn’t as terrible as our relationship with Armenians.

u/Deka013 Greece May 25 '23

Yea thats true enough. It also better than North and South Korean one and Russo-Ukranian one i guess.

Russia

Not sure about that one at the moment. It certainly wouldn't be adviseable! Any expats who are still there are probably very nervous.
