Arab Today, arab today Erdogan: Obama deceived Turkey over PKK

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Ankara - Arab Today

The Barack Obama administration deceived Turkey over cooperation against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said late on April 19, calling for stronger ties with US President Donald Trump, Hurriyet Daily News reported on Thursday.

“With President Obama, we had a mutual agreement about the PKK – but Obama deceived us. I don’t believe the Trump administration will do the same,” Erdogan said. 

Erdogan criticized Obama for failing to abide by an agreement between the two countries to fight against terror organizations. 

Both Washington and Ankara designate the PKK as a terror group. Ankara regards the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its armed wing, the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG), as terrorist organizations due to their ties with the PKK, while Washington has cooperated extensively with the YPG in the fight against Daesh, infuriating Turkey. 

The president’s latest remarks followed his earlier statements on April 19 that “the way President Trump is approaching matters is encouraging and makes us happy.” 

Erdogan also said he was planning to meet his US counterpart next month ahead of a NATO meeting. 

Trump, who came to power in January following an eight-year tenure for Obama, called on April 17 to congratulate Erdogan on the April 16 referendum, in which voters approved changes to the country’s constitution that would usher in an executive presidency. 

“The most important point we discussed was about developments in Syria and Iraq. We plan to meet in May and we will discuss things further face to face,” Erdogan said regarding the phone call.
