ANKARA (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not express concerns about arrests and protests in Turkey in the way he stated in a social media post after meeting his Turkish counterpart in Washington, a Turkish diplomatic source said on Wednesday.
Rubio and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met on Tuesday, after which a Turkish Foreign Ministry source said the NATO allies voiced a mutual will to lift restrictions on defence industry cooperation.
