(ANSA) - TRIESTE - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is heading to northeastern Greece to meet with members of the country's Muslim minority, on the second day of an official visit to Greece.

Erdogan was to visit a mosque and meet with local officials in Komotini on Friday before returning to Turkey in the afternoon. On Thursday, Erdogan rattled his Greek hosts by saying the 1923 treaty that set the borders of modern Turkey and outlined the status of minorities should be "updated." The two sides publicly aired their grievances over several issues in tense televised meetings.
