ANKARA, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Turkish President ⁠Tayyip Erdogan will host Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday for ⁠talks likely to focus on migration and longstanding maritime disputes, as the ‌NATO allies and historic rivals try to build on warming ties.

Fifteen migrants died in a shipwreck off the Greek island of Chios last week after their boat collided with a Greek coastguard vessel and ​sank in the Aegean Sea off the Turkish coast.
