Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan says a telephone conversation he held with U.S. President Donald Trump last week was the first time in a long while since Turkish and U.S. leaders were on the same "wavelength."
Addressing legislators from his ruling party on Tuesday, Erdoğan also said that "We will conduct the continuation of this conversation with Trump again, at which we have negotiated from YPG to FETO, from the cases against our country to cooperation in defense industry, in the coming days,"
He said, referring to a case in New York against Turkish businessman Rıza Sarraf.
Turkish officials said last week that Trump told Erdoğan during their Nov. 24 conversation that the U.S. would end arms supplies to PKK/PYD terrorists.
Erdoğan said: "For the first time in a long while, a common wavelength was reached."
FETO and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which martyred 250 people and injured nearly 2,200 others.
The PYD and its military wing YPG are Syrian branches of the PKK terrorist network, which has waged war against Turkey for more than 30 years and taken thousands of lives.
Erdoğan and Trump have agreed to fight against "all kinds of terrorist groups" in a phone call on Friday and also exchanged opinions on Syria crisis and regional issues, as well as Turkey-U.S. bilateral issues.
Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavuşoğlu had revealed that Trump told Erdoğan that Washington will not provide weapons to PKK/PYD terrorist group anymore.
