US President Joe Biden and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan will hold their second meeting since Biden entered the Oval Office during the G-20 conference to be launched on October 30 in Rome, all major Turkish media reported.
According to the report, the two will discuss in private about the situation in Syria, the Russian S-400 systems in Turkish hands, the issue of preventing the purchase of F-35 aircraft, and bilateral relations.
This meeting will take place, having not taken place during Erdogan's visit to New York for his speech to the UN General Assembly.
Long before the meeting with Biden, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will pay a working visit to Sochi tomorrow (Wednesday).
This was announced today in Ankara.
During the visit, he will meet with his counterpart Vladimir Putin.
The two are expected to discuss bilateral relations, developments in the region, and will focus on what is happening in Syria, Lebanon and Afghanistan.
On the other hand, the Kremlin said that talks were expected in the political, commercial and economic spheres.
Beyond that, the two are expected to discuss the possibility of purchasing additional S-400 systems - in stark contrast to Washington's position.
Evidence of this are, first and foremost, Erdogan's statements about it in recent weeks.
Beyond that, the Turkish president did not utter a word against the United States in an interview with CBS last Sunday.
In general, relations between Biden and Erdogan are no longer good since the American was Barack Obama's vice president. Improved, but it is precisely the mutual suspicion that has increased.
First of all, it took Erdogan three days to issue a congratulatory message - after Biden was officially elected president, later - after former President Donald Trump sanctioned Ankara in December for purchasing the S-400 systems, Erdogan claimed that "Biden would be welcomed by us" - and only On June 14, Biden found it appropriate to meet his counterpart for the first time since taking office as president on the sidelines of the NATO conference.
