Following the meeting, Cicek said, ''there have been good relations between Turkish and Greek executive organs. My visit to Greece aims to develop cooperation of the two countries in judiciary.''
Recalling that Turkish Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc had earlier invited Psaruda-Benaki to Turkey, Cicek said, ''Psaruda-Benaki accepted the invitation in principle.''
''I informed Psaruda-Benaki on Turkey's reform process, and expressed our pleasure with Greece's support to Turkey's EU process,'' Cicek added.
