Obama deceived us- Turkey president

In an interview with Al Jazeera that was aired on Wednesday, Turkey president Erdogan three days after he hailed a "Yes vote" in a referendum to amend Turkey's constitution and grant the country's presidential office new executive powers.
"Trump congratulated us for the referendum and the final vote," Erdogan said.

"The most important point we discussed was about developments in Syria and Iraq. We plan to meet in May and we will discuss things further face to face.
Erdogan also criticised Trump's predecessor over an agreement between the two to fight what he described as "terrorist groups" operating in Turkey.
"With President Obama, we had a mutual agreement about the PKK - but Obama deceived us. I don't believe the Trump administration will do the same."
The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has been designated a "terrorist" group by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. It launched an armed struggle against the Turkish state in 1984 and more than 40,000 people have since been killed in the conflict.
In February this year, Turkish police detained more than 800 people over alleged links to Kurdish fighters in nationwide operations, according to state media.
