Cavusoglu indicated that the meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Joe Biden, last Sunday, took place in a constructive atmosphere. He pointed out that "the US’ cooperation with the YPG/PKK, its harboring of (Turkish dissident) Gulen, and its position on sanctions related to the S-400 system, are not in line with the spirit of the NATO alliance."
