Davutoğlu, Merkel Agree To Solve Problems With 'Mutual Understanding'

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has announced that he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have agreed to solve possible problems within a spirit of mutual understanding.

His remarks came following a question about Greek Cypriot's objections to a draft declaration for a Turkey-EU refugee summit.

Speaking at a press conference at Ankara's Esenboğa airport on Nov. 29, ahead of his flight to Brussels for the EU-Turkey Summit, the prime minister thanked Merkel, European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker for their "attitude open to cooperation."

Turkey and EU have reached a consensus that takes into account the sensitivities of Ankara, he said.
