Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoðan said in a press conference that “the steps to be taken by trilateral mechanism to include measures other than intelligence sharing will be implemented.” Erdoðan was speaking to reporters before his departure from Toronto early Monday where he attended a G-20 summit and held a bilateral meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama.

Erdoðan and Obama spoke about the joint fight against the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party), the disagreement over Iran sanctions and the ongoing dispute between Turkey and Israel.

Erdoðan said he asked president Obama to enlarge their ongoing cooperation.

On a question about the northern Iraqi Kurds Erdoðan said the local administration in northern Iraq was unable to govern the whole region. “It seems that the region is ruled by the PKK. On the one hand we’ll talk about the territorial integrity of Iraq, but on the other hand we’ll talk about a part of this country captured by the PKK”.

Another topic the two leaders discussed was the disagreement over imposing a new round of sanctions against Iran for its controversial nuclear program. Turkey voted against the sanctions along with Brazil on the grounds for not contradicting with their initiative to broker a deal on the nuclear fuel swap deal.

“We expect the Tehran Agreement to stay on the table and that it will be implemented. We have asked the same thing from Iran,” he said.
