Fidan received delegation of Armed Services Committee of US House of Representatives in Ankara

Turkey
Türkiye's defense and intelligence chiefs are hosting members of the U.S. House of Representatives for talks in Ankara, Turkish media reports.
 
Defense Minister Yaşar Güler and National Intelligence Organization (MIT) Director Ibrahim Kalın are holding separate talks with a delegation from the U.S. Armed Service Committee, Turkish diplomatic sources said Friday.
 
The talks are expected to address Türkiye's national security concerns, bilateral ties, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the fight against terror groups like Daesh and the PKK, notably U.S. support for the YPG, as well as President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's visit to Washington on May 9, sources said.
 
The two sides are also expected to discuss the F-16 procurement and modernization process awaiting U.S. congressional approval.
 
Mike Rogers, chairperson of the Armed Services Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, Ranking Member Adam Smith, and their accompanying delegation were received by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in the capital late Thursday.
 
At a time of lukewarm relations, Erdoğan is scheduled to fly to the U.S. on May 9, upon invitation of his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden, Turkish media outlets reported earlier this week, for his first visit to the White House under the Biden administration.
 
Türkiye and the U.S. are two historic allies, though their ties deteriorated due to disagreements over several issues.
 
Diplomatic ties remain robust, and the two leaders occasionally talk to each other over the phone, but their last in-person meeting was in July during a NATO summit. The same event focused on Sweden's NATO membership, something Türkiye initially opposed.
 
After Türkiye's approval of the accession, ties regained momentum. Most recently, Fidan and Kalın held talks in the U.S. Their visit was viewed as a preparatory meeting for Biden-Erdoğan talks.
 
Erdoğan and Biden will have a lot to discuss, but the situation in Gaza, defense cooperation and the fight against terrorism are all expected to be hot topics.
 
Erdoğan will reiterate Türkiye's call for an end to Israel's attacks in Gaza and find a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict solely based on a two-state solution.
 
The Turkish president has long been critical of the U.S. stance on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, particularly Washington's unconditional support of the Netanyahu administration, which he accused of committing crimes against innocent Palestinians. In February, Erdoğan told journalists that the peace process in the conflict failed to bear fruit due to the negative approach of the U.S.
 
Another issue straining ties is Washington's continued support for the YPG, the Syrian branch of the PKK terrorist group, which has killed thousands in Türkiye over the past four decades.
 
Earlier this month, Turkish officials reiterated a call to the U.S. to end its support for the YPG after a high-level U.S. visit to the terrorist group.
 
"The U.S. continues to support the PKK/YPG/SDF terrorist organization under the pretext of fighting against Daesh. It is not possible to fight a terrorist organization using another terrorist organization. So the fight against terrorism cannot be done with terrorists," a Defense Ministry source told reporters.
