Presidents Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Donald Trump have agreed to fight against “all kinds of terrorist groups”, according to the Turkish Presidency late Friday.
In a statement, the Presidency said: "President Erdoğan and U.S. President Trump exchanged opinions on Syria crisis and regional issues, as well as Turkey-U.S. bilateral issues."
Erdoğan shared information with Trump on the recently-held summit in the Russian city of Sochi, it said.
"Both leaders -- who spoke about the importance of strengthening Turkey and U.S. relations -- agreed to fight against all kinds of terrorist groups, including the likes of Daesh, PKK and FETÖ," it said.
Earlier, Erdoğan tweeted after phone call: “I had a fruitful phone conversation with the U.S. President Donald Trump today."
Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu -- in a joint news conference with Democratic Republic of Congo Deputy Prime Minister Leonard She Okitundu -- also touched upon the two presidents phone call.
Çavuşoğlu said Trump told Erdoğan the U.S. would no longer provide the PKK/PYD terrorist group with weapons.
"Mr. Trump [...] clearly stated that weapons will not be given to YPG anymore and said that essentially this nonsense should have been ended before," he told reporters.
