(Independent) of ... Try us Vice President Joe Biden and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Saturday to alleviate congestion on the crisis in Syria and to participate in the campaign against daash, but failed to achieve a breakthrough in this area.
Biden said that he discussed with Erdogan transition period in Syria where Assad does not participate. He said at a news conference with Erdogan that the parties discussed strengthening the Syrian opposition and ensure a transition away from the Assad regime, in addition to deny extremists a safe haven and defeated and defeat them.
Meanwhile, Erdogan spoke highly of bilateral relations, saying "we want to continue our cooperation with the United States and we are working to develop it."
Biden had failed to persuade Turkey to join international coalition against extremists
Biden's visit to Istanbul to be the highest us official to visit Turkey since Erdogan's election as President, amid tensions between the two extraordinary members of the Atlantic Alliance. The two men did not announce any breakthrough after nearly four hours of talks on Ottoman Mansion on the Asian side of Istanbul.
Washington is frustrated by the relatively limited role for Turkey in fighting against the organized daash who controls vast areas of Iraq and Syria.
Turkey is also upset about the lack of recognition of their contribution to around 1.6 million Syrian refugees, and of supporting Kurdish fighters who fight against daash.
Previous tension between the two countries
Biden was criticized last month when Erdogan hinted that its policies in support of militants in Syria helped to encourage the emergence of daash, which Erdogan to warn that the relationship between the two countries have become "from the past".
So far, it has limited the participation of Turkey in the Alliance against organizing daash to allow Kurdish Peshmerga fighters to cross from Turkey to the city of Ain Arab (uppalapati) to help Kurds who are fighting daash.
Turkey continues to prevent raids from its territory
Ankara has so far refused to allow us troops to raids from the Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey forced them to take flights from the Gulf region.
Turkey believes that the raids launched by us-led coalition is not sufficient, and that the threat of jihadist will not depart until fall of the regime of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. The Turkish Government has stipulated that before joining the international coalition to create a buffer zone and a no-fly zone along its border with Syria, but that has not been heard yet. (The end)
