The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs said that no country could
warn Turkey or the Turkish Prime Minister.
Ahmet Davutoglu, who is currently in the southeastern province
of Kahramanmaras to hold a series of talks, replied to reporters'
questions on the latest news stories claiming that U.S. President
Barack Obama warned Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan during
their recent gathering as part of the G-20 summit in Toronto, Canada,
Today's Zaman reported.
"Such a thing is not in question. Turkey and U.S. are strategic
allies," Davutoglu said.
"On the other hand, not a single country could warn Turkey or display
such a stance towards the Turkish Prime Minister. The meeting in
Toronto was a friendly gathering that was held in accordance with the
relations between two ally countries. It was a conversation between
the leaders of two sovereign states that are totally equal. Therefore,
such a warning is not in question and such news stories do not reflect
the reality," Davutoglu noted.
Financial Times recently wrote that U.S. President Barack Obama warned
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan about Turkey's attitude
towards Israel and Iran during a meeting in Toronto in June.
The daily claimed that Obama warned Erdogan saying unless Ankara's
attitude towards Israel and Iran changed, Turkey had a slim chance of
obtaining arms it needed from the United States. A spokesperson for
the White House later denied such story and stated that no ultimatum
was given to Turkey,
