We have completed the four-day U.S. visit with Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım, which focused on the one-hour-and-twenty-minute meeting between Yıldırım and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence in the White House. After the meeting, Yıldırım went to New York and made the first statement there: “To tell the truth, the meeting was very fruitful. We, sincerely and honestly, talked about our problems.” The prime minister’s facial expression when he boarded the plane gave us clues that the meeting was really good. He came to us smiling and let us ask our questions.
He was also positive during the morning walk the day before, but he was cautious about some issues in the question-answer section. In fact, he was right to be so. Primarily about Reza Zarrab’s trial on Nov. 27.
