ISTANBUL - Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that there was nothing between Turkey and the United States as it was exaggerated, adding, ''our strategical partnership continues in the same way.''
Erdogan visited Istanbul Trade Chamber (ITO) in Eminonu district.
Erdogan said regarding Turkey-U.S. relations that many things were written, but there was nothing between Turkey and the United States as it was exaggerated and he added that strategical partnership was carried on in the same way and relations were continuing.
Erdogan said, ''surely, the United States has an approach here. We have a different approach. After these approaches, you cannot agree in some things completely, but the things we have agreed are more than those we have not. Because, Turkey did what nobody had done by opening its air space.''
