Are there any Turkish pundits who specialize exclusively in Greek-Turkish relations?

Question

It might sound weird, but most of Greece's geopolitical analysts are, in a sense, Ottomanologists who focus on Turkey's internal affairs, the Kurds, US-Turkey relations, the Aegean dispute etc. Many of them speak Turkish well and claim to be in contact with... "philhellenes" Turkish officials who provide them with inside information. Additionally, all channels devote 20 minutes of their 9 o'clock news to Turkish news.

I wonder if there is something similar in Turkey. Are there Turkish international relations experts who deal with Greece on a permanent basis, or is our interest... one-sided?

PS: Btw, anti-Turkish rhetoric in Greece has once again reached fever pitch. After an inexplicable period of calm, the "pundits" on television and websites have started talking again 24/7 about war, armaments, Turkish aggression, and so on. All this is in the media, the average citizen couldn't care less.
