Erdoğan to visit US on Tuesday

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will pay a two-day working visit to the United States at the invitation of his American counterpart Donald Trump starting Tuesday.

Erdoğan’s talks with Trump on Wednesday will tackle all aspects of bilateral relations, as well as regional and global issues, especially Syria.

During the visit, Erdoğan will also give a speech to the business community hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

According to his itinerary, Erdogan will visit the Diyanet Center of America in Maryland -- a center which coordinates with Turkey’s Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet) -- and will meet members of the Turkish and Muslim community in the U.S.

The visit comes after an Oct. 17 deal with the U.S. under which YPG/PKK members were to withdraw from Turkey’s "Operation Peace Spring" region in northern Syria.

Turkey has complained that the YPG/PKK members -- sometimes allies of the U.S. ostensibly to fight ISIS -- did not leave the area, and continue to launch attacks.

Ankara wants YPG/PKK members to withdraw from the region so that a safe zone can be created to pave the way for the safe return of some two million refugees.

The U.S. partnership with YPG terrorists ignores evidence supplied by Turkey that the YPG is in fact part of the PKK, which the U.S. does recognize as a terror group.
