Greek and Turkish journalists who attended the 6th Turkish-Greek Media Conference -held in Izmir, Turkey, on September 17-19- have decided to establish a joint organization called "Turkish-Greek Journalists Association."

According to the association’s provisional charter, the aim is to promote dialogue and exchange between the journalists of the two countries, organize conferences and create conditions for reporting the other side "as it is."

Greek Government Vice-President Theodoros Pangalos and Turkey's Minister of State Hayati Yazici addressed the opening session of the conference.
