The relations between Turkey and the United States would develop faster after US President-elect Donald Trump assumed office on January 20, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed such hope on Monday.
"In particular, I believe that we will gain momentum regarding regional issues through common understanding," Erdogan said, speaking at the 9th Annual Ambassadors' Conference in Ankara, Sputnik News reports, referring to Daily Sabah newspaper.
Erdogan noted that Turkey expected the United States to support the country in counterterrorism issues, particularly, the fight against the Daesh and the so-called ''Fethullah Gulen Terrorist Organization'' (FETO), which Ankara blames for the July 2016 coup attempt.
