A conversation with President trump President Erdogan begins with wishes of success in office.
Between the two leaders occurs warm conversation that lasts exactly 42 minutes.
Trump, stressing that erdoğan was one of the first leaders who called him after the election victory, thanked Erdogan and said: “Very happy to speak with you again.” Trump continues the conversation, talking about his love for Turkey: “I have been in Turkey. I love your country”.
During the conversation, the tramp makes a strong emphasis. He pointedly said that Turkey and the United States are “trusted friends and allies.”
All this positive phrase in the sense of a good start. We’re talking about trump, who hung up during a conversation with the Prime Minister of Australia Turnbull (Turnbull). Of course, the President, Erdogan this would not be allowed, but I recalled for comparison. In conversation with Erdogan trump, on the contrary, gives promising positive signals, which go beyond common courtesy.
Trump is trying to understand how President Erdogan assesses regional problems and asks questions. At the mention of the problems of the region it comes to fighting ISIS (banned in Russia — approx. ed.), Syria and the question of the Party “Democratic Union” (PYD) people’s protection Units (YPG).
What they say the two leaders?
Referred to the attempted coup in Turkey July 15, 2016. Previously, trump has said that the coup attempt was suppressed by President Erdogan said: “I highly appreciate him for what he was able to turn the situation around”.
President erdoğan, stressing that Fethullah Gulen (Fethullah Gülen) led the attempted coup on 15 July, starts talking about the extradition of Gulen.
Trump does not demonstrate any negative approach. On the contrary, he listens carefully to the words of Erdogan about gülen’s extradition, and even says that he will instruct to find out if the possibility of litigation in the United States. It is obvious that the trump Fethullah Gulen will not be able to feel as at ease as they are under Obama.
One of the main aspects outlined by President Erdogan, — the fight against ISIS. Trump’s impressive evaluation of Erdogan, and asking questions, he’s trying to get the detailed information. Trump is also inclined to the proposal to create safe zones in Syria, than Erdogan insists from the very beginning of the crisis. This theme also comes up in the course of the conversation. But it becomes clear that perceptions trump about safe areas differ from that in the past was done in Iraq.
As you remember, the U.S. at the time, declared a no-fly zone in Iraq North of the 36th parallel, inhabited by Kurds, and South of the 32nd parallel, where the Shia. Meanwhile, in Syria, as becomes clear, there is an idea to create a cleared from terrorists in the region, and it is, indeed, closer to us.
President Erdogan, speaking about the successes achieved in the fight against ISIS in Jerablus and al Bab, voiced the proposal that in al Bab and raqqa is possible to fight together. When it comes to fighting ISIS and PYD — YPG, trump says: “I refer you to the head of the CIA, to discuss in detail with him in it.”
Trump says that on his return Mike Pompeo (Mike Pompeo) he will get information from him. The head of the CIA arrives today in Ankara. He will meet with President Erdogan and all the details will work on the issue of Syria and the PYD — YPG with the head of the National intelligence organization (MIT) Hakan Fidana (Hakan Fidan).
President Erdogan said that the topic of PYD — YPG is a matter of survival for Turkey in the context of the fight against the Kurdistan workers ‘ party. And requests that the US did not support PYD — YPG.
The conversation of Erdogan and the tramp concludes with the wish to bring the relations of the two countries on a deservedly high level.
Now, about the atmosphere of the conversation. Sources in the presidential administration have the impression that the talks were positive. Leaders put the tube, expressing the desire to hold a personal meeting in the near future. With the aim of organizing meetings of the two leaders of the foreign ministries of the two countries rolled up their sleeves to undertake the work. It is reported that after this telephone conversation, President Erdogan told his entourage: “We get along”.
After all that has happened under Obama, it was important what kind of relationship built by President trump. Obviously, the critical threshold is overcome, Erdogan and trump found a common language with each other.
