Ali Bayramoglu
Columnist Ali Bayramoglu comments on the relations between the US, the European Union and Turkey. A summary of his column is as follows:
�Two basic axis of the Turkish foreign policy, namely, relations with the US and the European Union, is getting on the right track again. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan�s recent visit to the US was aiming to remove the atmosphere of tension between the two countries and renew the relations directly and through first-hand contacts. This visit reached its aim with its main lines. Firstly, both parties are accepting the differences of each other. Therefore, one shouldn�t take the clamor in the Turkish and the US press about such issues as anti-US approach in Syria and Turkey into seriously. Of course Syria is a field of problem between the two countries. There is a difference between the US� policy of full isolation towards Syria and Turkey�s stance to favor the establishment of a democratic change not in a short period of time and through persuasion.
