Middle East dominates Erdoğan’s agenda
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is today meeting U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington. Among the many issues that need to be discussed are the impact on Turkey of the possible free trade agreement between the U.S. and the EU, the peace process in Turkey, energy cooperation, U.S. force withdrawal from Afghanistan, bilateral economic cooperation, Turkish-Israeli relations, various Middle Eastern problems etc. However, the Syrian civil war and recent explosions in Reyhanlı will no doubt top the agenda. Although the Syrian regime denied involvement, Turkish officials suspect the Syrian intelligence agency, Mukhabarat, of instigating the car bombings that killed 51 people and wounded many more on May 11.
