    AFP reports that in a recent interview Erdogan said, “In the past, I was calling him (Obama) directly. Because I can’t get the expected results on Syria, our foreign ministers are now talking to each other.”

    Erdogan, who says he quit calling Obama back in February, said, “I expect justice in this process. I couldn’t imagine something like this from those who are championing justice,” while adding that he stills speaks to US vice-president Joe Biden.

    Erdogan, a strong supporter of Palestine, has been highly critical of Israel’s latest offensive in Gaza, calling it “state terrorism” and “genocide,” and has chided the US as well over its blanket support of Israel’s “disproportionate” tactics.
