what was turkey's role? i think that's a good question for you, since you're an expert on turkey, you know, turkey has been consistently supporting the military operations in a forceful resolution to the nagorno-karabakh conflict. we had a very different position on that is you who continues to be like that. however, that didn't preclude us from closely cooperating on all levels with them, including the level of presidents. i think you are aware that putin and yet again, maintain continuous dialogue, even they, russia and turkey have that differences. this relationship between the 2 leaders meet allows us to combine our efforts when necessary to facilitate the resolution of various regional problems. and you know, it's really not that clear to an ordinary person. for example, right now we're talking about imposing sanctions on say, one of angle merkel's deputies as a response. well, our people believe that our relations with germany are great in years with turkey, we've seen an endless string of confrontatio

due to turkey's policies in the eastern mediterranean. turkey's overhead with france and greece over maritime and exploration rights in the region, and even the trump administration has been very critical of what it saw as turkey's aggressive approach in the region. i think we can expect a tougher approach from the biden administration there. but biden's efforts to curb russian influence might also offer opportunities for cooperation. biden will probably ramp up support for countries like ukraine and georgia to push back at russia, to help them improve their ability to extend -- with stand russian pressure and that's an area where turkey and the u.s.c. cooperate. turkey has been cultivating ties with ukraine and has supported nato enlargement in the region to include georgia. so that's an area where the two countries can cooperate. another important foreign policy item that presents challenges and opportunities for both countries is syria. the u.s. military presence in syria will remain and it could mean a stronger u.s. push to include th
