Turkish, Greek governments have passed negative psychological threshold, Davutoglu

Turkey’s foreign minister said on Tuesday that Turkish and Greek governments had passed over the negative psychological threshold.
Ahmet Davutoglu said former paradigms in Turkish-Greek relations had been over, and two countries should establish a new paradigm which was purified from hidden agenda, concerns and doubts.
"We are ready to negotiate all issues with Greece with an open-minded attitude," Davutoglu told a joint press conference with his Greek counterpart Dimitrios Droutsas in Athens, Greece.
Davutoglu said Turkey and Greece would definitely discuss issues related with the island of Megisti when the time came, however he wanted to mention Megisti because it was an island situated in the Mediterranean not in the Aegean.
The minister said Turkey had assumed a positive approach to solve all Aegean issues, and it did not wan to start a legal discussion on the island of Megisti.
"We are determined to solve every issue, and take rapid steps, and we think such issues will not constitute a serious problem between us," he said.
Davutoglu said the message he wanted to give was a message of friendship, neighborhood and common destiny.
"All the world will witness how Turkish-Greek relations have boosted in coming days, and from here, we will give a message of peace to the entire world," the minister said.
Davutoglu said he would visit not only Western Thrace but also Kavala, Thessaloniki and the entire geography in order to see a beautiful region, to end his intellectual curiosity, and to share direct good messages with the Muslim Turkish minority whom he believed was a bridge of friendship between the two countries.
"Let’s see these visits normal and let’s not seek any other agenda behind them," he said.
Davutoglu also called on Greek executives and people to visit every corner of Turkey, where they could observe the common cultural values.
Earlier on Tuesday, Davutoglu met Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou.
