Top US diplomat Tillerson, in Ankara, meets Turkish PM
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. March 30, 2017, 12:40 PM (IDT)
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met Thursday morning with Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim in Ankara. They discussed recent developments in Syria, the war against Islamic State, and Turkey's repeated demand for the extradition of opposition leader Fethullah Gulen by the US. Brett McGurk, who is responsible for US military cooperation with the Syrian Kurdish militias fighting ISIS, is accompanying Tillerson on the trip. The secretary of state is scheduled to meet Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu later in the day.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
