Davutoglu holds talks with Barzani

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu held a meeting on Tuesday with Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, who is in Ankara for two days of talks with Turkish officials. According to diplomatic sources, Davutoglu's closed meeting with Barzani focused on bilateral relations, recent incidents in Iraq, the situation of Syria, the Kurdish National Conference and the recent developments and incidents in Egypt. Barzani's visit came soon after Ankara last weekend hosted Saleh Muslim, the leader of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syria. Speaking to reporters, Davutoglu said that in case the incidents in Syria escalate, instability to occur would bring damage to everybody.
