Mend fences or. Go in a different direction and we have come to an agreement to take joint steps together of course we need to take steps and yes of course both parties have expectations of each other. And we have expectations in relation to that to like it and the support given to the y p g by the United States and we have stated our Expectations Quite clearly we recognize the legitimate right of turkey to secure its borders we take it seriously when our nato ally turkey says it has security concerns as to africa we call on turkey to show restraint in its operation to minimize the the casualties to civilians and avoid actions that would escalate tensions in that area well earlier there were small protests outside the discussions venue the shout then to u.

Theres a saying you dance with the ones who brought you in mandate syria the u. S. Military is supporting the Syrian Defense forces local fighters who helped liberate the city from. Just one problem the s. D. F. Is led by kurds whom turkey considers a mortal enemy. Once again is demanding washington abandon the s. D. F. And pull its own forces out of syria he can you produce and how that you can why are you standing around go ahead and leave who did you bring their. B. G. K. K. Didnt you take in there and you are still telling us not to come the money we will come to my marriage to deliver the land to its true owners. The us response not happening we need to stay here until the that political environment is stable and our security here our presence here provides that level stabilization and bring security for its just the latest in a number of issues that have driven in washington apart going back to the start of the Syrian Civil War in two thousand and eleven turkey became increasingly frustrated that the United States wasnt helping it achieve its goal of bringing down a side in the United States became increasingly frustrated by turkey support for radical groups whats more the u. S. Is still refusing to extradite the cleric that. Accused of plotting the failed two thousand and sixteen coup against her to one all this has the turkish president jockeying for closer ties with russia and attacking the u. S. As a pro enemy everywhere he goes the anti american message is resonating a recent poll found that seventy nine percent of turks hold an unfavorable view of the u. S. Government just eighteen percent have a favorable view even people to people ties are affected sixty seven percent of turks have an unfavorable view of americans roslyn jordan aljazeera washington. To encourage our correspondent jamal el sheil such as well theyre going to normalize relations how are they going to do it well i mean starting with nice words i suppose thats what came out of their press conference they both tried to underline that during relationship the important relationship the Strong Alliance between the true but they didnt really give us any details exactly of how theyre going to strengthen or how theyre going to bolster that said relationship there was very little in that respects aside from Rex Tillerson and his counterparts talking about the mechanism that was being set up in order to agree and Work Together i mean the the rhetoric that came out is very promising in that you know you we heard things like working together in terms of syria we had things about collaboration we heard the talk about the need to. Share information and all of that respects but and agreeing on how they view this future of syria as an independent unified free and democratic states but there was an exact details that for example where will the u. S. Presence be will the u. S. Stop funding in supporting the white p. G. That a group turkey considers to be a terrorist organization will the turks agree with the americans as to which type of groups should be allowed to participate in military operations whats will happen with france are not good and all of these those details werent given i mean all we got like i say were strong nice words that would indicate of some sort of warming of relationships but in terms of the action exactly were not sure peter and also want to sims as well jamal that they need stability they need some form of stabilization on the ground in syria and we are so very far away from that particularly in these areas and think about men being shia these areas that they were very crucially discussing today. Indeed i mean and this is probably the whats frustrating the trucks more so than the americans because the instability in syria obviously affects turkey much faster and much more powerful you rather than the than the americans because obviously turkey shares a border with syria has three million Syrian Refugees inside not to mention obviously the link between the Kurdish Militia inside syria and the Kurdish Militia inside turkey but having said that the u. S. Maintains that it has some sort of National Security interest in terms of being a presence in syria what that is exactly is not clear but then again this isnt anything new for the u. S. In terms of involvements within the middle east in terms of military presence but what is strange and what is peculiar and we heard some one of the questions i was presented to the true diplomats which was this why is it taking so long for two nato allies to agree not to kill each other or shoot each other and that is the issue now that they have agreed maybe that they said theyre going to Work Together but well need to find out says well putting those words to the test in the next couple of weeks will be an indication whether we see now a reorganization or deployments of u. S. Forces in syria whether we see maybe our withdrawal in the y. P. G. In the Kurdish Militia or maybe a reduction in their firepower how the rhetoric coming out of her to man and his politicians will be in terms of visibly their attacks on the u. S. What they see is criticism of u. S. Policy all of that will let us know whether this was a real beginning to a new phase in the relationship or whether it was a failed attempt to patch up maybe something that is difficult to hide jamal you keep us up to date im sure in the meantime thanks very much keeping us company here in the studio seven im proud he is associate. Told me he is an associate professor at the Doha Institute for graduate studies i guess thats a measure of the point that jamal was making that of how complex the situation is that youve got two major major nato allies circling each other trying to identify the areas that they can work on yes so actually its very important to listen carefully to that authority that came from the press conference where in fact i notice that there is more of a tough rhetoric on the turkish side than that with the american like the Turkish Foreign minister said that clearly that our relationship has been at the most a critical stage. And indicating that their dissatisfaction of the outcome of this meeting now on the other hand you know for the. Both of them isnt saying that all of us in syria all of the seem so very broad vague statements and hes talking about i want to should be off i think together back in korea in the fifth is talking about this romantic relationship you know shoulder to shoulder and fighting together making sacrifice together and that the objectives of the others him so that was not very would reflected on the Turkish Foreign minister side talking about that critical stage that this relationship is facing at the moment and the real issues if members judge that. As a source of the conflict for now actually that have not been talked about in a way that would give signs for the pollution how do they move the relationship forward given that ankara seems to think america now has a track record of broken promises and america thinks and korea has been overreacting for at least six months now i guess well you know we have to understand there is a very strong anger on the talk of sides of the Foreign Policy of the. That is the its the link in the northern part of syria with the condition of the shits. Turkey escalated by responding with a military operations in the Northern Syria and theyre free and to end. Their duties seeing a lack of understanding from their from their strategic ally the United States to their National Security needs on the on their southern borders you know army when he says that theyre fighting against turkey so that that issue in addition to other the other ones that the girl in the show that emerged very strongly in this meeting that was not by the way that me think was not about the initial it was about syria but initially emerged as very strongly there are many other issues like also the jewels on issues from administrations the recognition of jerusalem as its capital and. The could the Muslim Coalition to keep a lid against this position so this i mean these years of tensions that none none of that has been address in this meeting and its still not clear how the United States is going to. Sort out this issue because just talking about the you know romantic relationship you know the historical side of it is not sufficient because at the end of the day the turkish there could additionally shias in business in members now for turkey they have to move to the eastern part of the rivers which is the United States will have to fears that and deal with it and we never got to talk about the ottoman slap we can talk about that later of course many thanks. The world has moved towards the brink of a significant conflict thats the warning from the chairman of the annual Munich Security Conference policymakers and experts have gathered in the german city to talk about Global Security challenges organizers say the role of the e. U. Will be one of the key issues up for discussion the gulf crisis north korea and the conflict in ukraine are also expected to be talked about hashem joins us live now from munich. Whats on the agenda. Peter this conference comes against the backdrop often of conflicts some of which could turn into serious geo political crises and therefore comes the need among different Decision Makers to try to reach some sense of consensus about how to move forward in the near future definitely the growing tension between the United States of america and north korea over pyong youngs you can a program is going to top the agenda of these ready for Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is going to deliver also a speech to make the case against iran is right has been saying that iran is trying to maintain Permanent Military bases in Northern Syria something that Israel Considers a red line the stalemate in Eastern Ukraine is definitely going to be one of the top issues and where the organizers are where the Decision Makers are try to consider the possibility of sending United Nations peacekeeping forces but you know this is something that could be done only when you have a consensus among the key players particularly United States of america and. Russia so you have also the fight against isis and against groups operated with in the. Region so were talking about different conflicts with this growing feeling among many Decision Makers here the confidence that there needs to be some political consensus about how to contain those crisis before they degenerate into major major confrontations there is cattery representation as well are they going to talk about the g. C. C. Crisis. Yes indeed the emir of qatar is going to deliver a keynote speech where hes going to. Explain basically what has happened since the start of the book a that was imposed by saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates bahrain and egypt. Qatar each time and during a speech like the one of United NationsGeneral Assembly and also the sure council and dont have the emir of qatar said that his country is committed to finding a political way out of the quizes but at the same time he said that there is absolutely no indication to suggest that there is a desire among scientists arabia and other located in countries to set aside their differences and negotiate a settlement has been basically saying that the demands that the list of eleven demands that was presented by saudi arabia and its allies are rejected because they undermine Qatars National sovereignty the general sentiment among qatari officials basically is the crisis has been based on fabricated lies and that the aim of the blockade was basically to talk into some sort of pariah state in there something which has been completely rejected by qatars of fishel over the past few months so it would be really interesting to see what the emir of qatar. I mean but what i thought he would say about the crisis about the future of the region peter i have to say that the recent report by the Munich Security Conference has been saying that the crisis in particular the the the crisis in the region the blockade imposed by saudi arabia on qatar is just going to further complicate the task for Different International players trying to find a consensus among countries there thanks very much.
