Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu's visit to Iraq means support and morale," he said.

In international negotiations, it was next to the United Nations in Turkey, Iran many times. Turkey's standing as a neutral point where now stand. But neutrality won't give us anything. America is a state of terrorism, which has been feeding the PKK with weapons for years. We have to stand next to our neighbor," he said.
"There is a serious obscurity"
