ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish Finance Minister Berat Albayrak and his German counterpart Olaf Scholz have agreed to meet in Berlin on September 21, Turkey's Treasury and Finance Ministry said on Thursday.

In a phone call, the ministers discussed U.S. sanctions imposed on Turkey amid a fierce row between the NATO allies that has sent the lira currency to a record low against the dollar, the ministry said in a statement. The ministers agreed to work together to strengthen economic cooperation, it said.
