Çavuşoğlu: US attitude not in line with spirit of alliance
Offer to form working group to clear issues between Ankara, Washington came from Joe Biden, says Turkish foreign minister
The US’ attitude toward Turkey is not in line with the spirit of alliance, Turkey’s foreign minister said on Thursday.
“The US’ cooperation with the PKK/PYD/YPG (terror group), FETO’s presence in the US, and its stance on the S-400 sanctions are not in line with the spirit of alliance,” Mevlut Cavusoglu told fellow lawmakers.
He said Turkey’s views were “clearly emphasized” by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during his meeting with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Rome last week.
Cavusoglu said Ankara and Washington will form a working group to resolve all outstanding issues between the NATO allies.
“We previously made an offer (for a working group) to the US, but this time the offer has come from the US, from Biden,” he said.
