Biden to visit Turkey
2015-12-31
US Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Turkey next month where he is expected to meet President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, the White House told Anadolu Agency on Wednesday. The vice president's Jan. 23 visit will take place as a U.S.-led coalition desultory fight continues against Daesh in Syria and Iraq.

The White House did not provide details about the vice president’s trip but the visit is considered important as the U.S. presses Turkey to do more in the war against the militants and in strengthening its border with Syria.
Good luck with that. I think sending Goofy Joe to 'press' Turkey isn't going to turn out the way people are anticipating. Perhaps that's just the plan...
In addition to the fight with Daesh, Biden is also expected to discuss the issue of Turkish troops staged at a training camp in northern Iraq.

Earlier this month, in a telephone call with Davutoglu, Biden welcomed the drawback of the troops deployed at the camp, calling it "an important step to de-escalate recent tensions," between the two countries, the White House said.

Biden will stop in Turkey prior to a visit to Davos, Switzerland to attend the World Economic Forum.
