Turkey's Davutoğlu Has Talks With Obama At G20 Summit

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and US President Barack Obama discussed regional issues including Syria and Iraq over lunch at the G-20 Leaders' Summit that opened in Australia on Saturday.

Obama and Davutoğlu sat together at a luncheon which was also attended by other world leaders. The two discussed latest developments in Syria and Iraq, where Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has captured large swaths of territory in a drive to set up a self-declared caliphate.
Davutoğlu also thanked Obama for his recent remarks in Myanmar on the situation of Rohingya Muslims. Obama on Friday called on Myanmar to end discrimination against Rohingya people, urging in his strongest comments on the persecuted Muslim minority that the government grant them equal rights.

“Discrimination against a Rohingya or any other religious minority, I think, does not express the kind of country that Burma over the long term wants to be," Obama told a news conference with pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi at her lakeside home in the city of Yangon.
