U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Turkey on Thursday for talks focused on a critical aspect of establishing stability in Syria: clashes in the north of the country between U.S.-backed Kurdish forces and Turkey-backed rebels. Blinken met President Tayyip Erdogan at Ankara's Esenboga Airport after visiting Jordan on his first trip to the region since Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government was ousted on Sunday. No details about the talks were released. Blinken will meet Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Friday. NATO allies Washington and Ankara supported Syrian rebels during the 13-year civil war.
