Obama, Erdogan Discuss 'Situation in Syria' in Friday Phone Call
19:37 GMT 19.02.2016 (Updated: 10:45 GMT 06.08.2022) US President Barack Obama discussed over the telephone the recent developments in war-torn Syria with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a briefing on Friday.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Earlier on Friday, Erdogan said he would discuss with Obama the US stance on Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), which Ankara accuses of terrorism.
"President Obama did telephone President Erdogan earlier today," Earnest stated. "The conversation between the two leaders did talk about the situation in Syria."
19 February 2016, 18:25 GMT
Erdogan claimed half of the US weapons allocated for the Syrian opposition fell in the hands of Daesh, also known as the Daesh, as well as the PYD.
Turkey claims that Syrian Kurds have links to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is fighting for Kurdish independence from Turkey, and is considered a terrorist organization by Ankara.
