U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has vowed to help resolve the differences between Greece and Turkey.
Blinken said; "It is in the interest of both Greece and Turkey to find ways to resolve longstanding differences, to do it through dialogue, through diplomacy.
"And in the meantime to not take any unilateral actions or use any charged rhetoric that would only make things more difficult and more challenging."
Blinken travelled to Turkey from Greece on Tuesday, where he met Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and later, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
In Athens, he held a joint news conference with Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias.
Greece and Turkey are at odds over various issues, from mineral rights in the Aegean to airspace and migrants pushbacks.
Tensions have flared recently, but Greece was among the first countries to send rescue workers to Turkey following the earthquakes.
