Some media outlets that believe in Erdogan have described his meeting with Biden as an example of a dialogue in which several important questions have not been answered. The summit of NATO member states was held in Brussels yesterday, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with the presidents of many countries on the sidelines of the summit, but as expected, the importance of meeting with Joe Biden overshadowed the content and other achievements of Erdogan’s meetings.NATO
The meeting between Erdogan and Biden was supposed to end in half an hour, but the meeting lasted behind closed doors for 40 minutes, and the meeting between the Turkish and American delegations lasted a total of 45 minutes. Also present were Defense Minister Khulusi Akar, Akparti spokesman Omar Celik and Turkish Ambassador to the United States Murad Marjan.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Erdogan reiterated his call for an end to US support for the PKK and other PKK satellites in northern Syria. But US President Joe Biden simply said something about his meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “It was a very good meeting.”
Fahmi Kuro, a former Turkish journalist, and analyst whose brother Naji Kuro was Turkey’s Deputy Foreign Minister and Ambassador to the United Nations wrote in today’s column about the meeting between Erdogan and Biden. The details of their meeting were not shared with the media. Apparently, Erdogan did not complain about the genocide, and I think they only shook hands in those 45 minutes. “It is interesting that after the delegations’ meeting, no information was given to the reporters and they did not answer any questions.”
Erdogan and Biden each went to reporters separately. In his speech, Erdogan repeatedly stressed the need not to support the PKK’s satellite institutions, and in response to a reporter’s question about the S400, he said: “It is impossible not to mention the S400 in such a meeting. . I talked about this and told Mr. Biden that our view of the S400 has not changed and we expect the F-35 to be available to us and to take joint steps in the defense industry. “All these issues do not end in one meeting, and the foreign and defense ministers of us and the United States must meet on this issue.”
