Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: Trump should stand by his word.

With the election of Donald Trump as president in the USA, the future of relations between Ankara and Washington has become a matter of curiosity. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who participated in a live broadcast on A Haber, stated that it is not surprising that the USA's pro-Israel stance continues.

MINISTER FIDAN: OUR PRESIDENT HAS GOOD RELATIONS WITH TRUMP

Minister Fidan said: "There is an intense foreign policy agenda. We are trying to keep up with this agenda as much as we can for our country and our nation. We will not have a problem in seeing the reflexes of the USA. Our president has good relations with Trump. There are issues we need to address with the USA. We will strive together to manage the problems. What will the Trump administration do in foreign policy? This is a topic that the global world is curious about. Factors in Europe and Asia are trying to position themselves accordingly. Our relevant units are coming together to create scenarios based on the situation of superpowers.

"TRUMP MUST STAND BEHIND HIS WORD"

A pro-Israel situation is not surprising. In the USA's domestic politics, supporting Israel has become a necessity. During the period when the Democrats were in power, we witnessed genocide openly. We assume that negative developments will occur during the Republicans' rule as well. If the war issue is only remembered in Ukraine and forgotten in the Palestinian issue, it will have serious consequences. Trump must stand behind his word.

"OUR NUMBER ONE PROBLEM WITH THE USA IS THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM"

Our problem with the USA is primarily the PKK issue, and secondly, its hosting of FETÖ's headquarters. We will continue to fight until the direct threat is eliminated. The USA had openly initiated discussions at the level of Foreign Affairs regarding the fight against terrorism in the last year.

We have had regular meetings regarding the YPG. They also see that there is no rational explanation for preferring another actor outside of Turkey in the region. Other powers in the region have understood our seriousness. We are implementing a strategy to eliminate the capabilities of the threat without showing it beyond our borders. We will continue to work on this issue. Our number one problem with the USA is the fight against terrorism. The allies in the region have understood our seriousness.
