Turkey has
agreed to resume long-stalled talks with Greece on complex territorial disputes,
but its calculus appears focused on short-term gains in its relations with the
United States and the European Union.

tensions over maritime borders and gas exploration rights, Turkish and
Greek diplomats are scheduled to resume on Jan. 25 talks in Istanbul on
long-standing territorial disputes in the Aegean Sea. The meeting will break a nearly five-year hiatus in
the talks, but the prospect of any meaningful de-escalation and
confidence-building appears elusive.
