Turkish FM: Papandreou, Droutsas participation in Turkish ambassadors' conference "historic"

Greek prime minister George Papandreou's and foreign minister Dimitris Droutsas' participation in the annual conference of Turkish ambassadors, currently taking place in Erzurum, is proof of the high level of the relations between the two countries, Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in Friday. 
 
In statements to Turkey's Anadolu news agency, Davutoglu described as "historic" the fact that Papandreou and Droutsas will address the Turkish ambassadors. 
 
"Turkey always responds to sincere intentions of friendship, and when it is approached in such a way. That is our policy in the Balkans and the Middle East," Davutoglu added.
