Neither Russia, nor the United States managed to clear the region from “terrorists”, President of Turkey said during a briefing before leaving for Washington, Anadolu reported.

Turkey together with the United States and Russia continue decisive steps to set up a security zone in Syria, Erdogan said, adding that he will deliver his position to Trump during his visit to Washington and to Putin in a phone conversation once he comes back to Turkey.

He added that the fight against terrorism and against Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) will be the top agenda item during his meeting with the U.S. president.

“Turkey took several steps and will continue doing so for extradition of the terrorist [group] leader [Fetullah Gulen] in Pennsylvania,” Erdogan said.
