According to AFP, chief of CIA, David Petraeus had a closed-door meeting with Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the head of Turkish intelligence, Hakan Fidam. They were probably discussing the situation in Syria.
Petraeus' visit is being connected with the debate in the USA discussing possible ways of solving Syrian conflict. There are many senators who claim than one of the solutions is to support the rebels, there are also ideas to bomb governments objects.
Turkey would play a crucial role. Ankara is still one of the closest US allies in the region, there are also rumors that it is supporting Syrian rebels. After the officials meeting American embassy's spokesperson has commented that the perspectives of further cooperation are very "fruitful".
It's getting more and more interesting. The conflict in Syria doesn't seem to end and the new war with Iran is also very possible. In the meantime we can notice quiet negotiations, new allies and hidden games to get some support.
Does it remind you Europe in 1930's?
