US special envoy Steve Witkoff described President Donald Trump’s recent phone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as “great” and “transformational” but largely overlooked by the media, Anadolu reports.
Witkoff, appearing as a guest on American journalist Tucker Carlson’s online program on Friday, shared his views on global affairs, suggesting that the discussion held between Trump and Erdogan could yield significant diplomatic developments.
“I think the president had a great conversation with Erdogan a couple of days ago. Really transformational, I would describe it,” Witkoff said.
“I think it’s been under-reported, to tell you the truth … because of what happened with Israel, and because of what’s going on with Russia, Ukraine.”
Erdogan spoke with US President Donald Trump on last Sunday, expressing confidence that Turkiye and the US will strengthen bilateral cooperation with a solid, results-driven approach in their new era of relations.

The conversation, as reported by Turkiye’s Communications Directorate, covered bilateral ties as well as regional and global matters. The two leaders last spoke in November, when Erdogan congratulated Trump on his re-election.
He praised US Ambassador in Turkiye Tom Barrack for his role in fostering Washington-Ankara relations and expressed optimism about the outcomes of the talks.
“I think Tom Barrack, who’s the ambassador there has done and will do an exceptional job,” he stated. “I think the president has a relationship with Erdogan, and that’s going to be important. And I think that there’s some good coming.”
He added that “there’s just a lot of good positive news” from Turkiye “as a result of that conversation.”
Witkoff did not provide details on the specific topics the two presidents discussed, nor has Trump publicly commented on the conversation. However, he suggested that further developments could emerge soon.
“I think you’ll see that in the reporting in the coming days,” he said.

Професорът по история, който твърди, че коренните българи са от турски произход, разкрива с документи, че някои от българските царе са от турски произход и езикът, който са използвали е турски. Твърдейки, че турците и българите произхождат от един род, проф. д-р Динков заявява, че турско-българските отношения трябва да се преструктурират от гледна точка на искреност. Според Динков отражението на това върху Европейския съюз също ще бъде положително и в същото време ще осигури по-силно участие в ЕС. „БЪЛГАРСКИТЕ...
