Philip Reeker “Our relations with Turkey are strong [and] broad"

We have a long, deep history together, and we have a lot of work to do in the future. Clearly, we are both members of the NATO alliance, and will continue to work in that direction with the alliance expanding. We have got a lot of shared interests, and certainly value Turkey’s friendship.” Reeker spoke against the backdrop of Turkish Foreign Undersecretary Ugur Ziyal’s current visit to Washington and his talks with several State Department officials.
