In a joint press conference with Nursultan Nazarbayev (his Kazakh counterpart) in Astana, Erdogan said Turkey not only fought the Fetullah Terrorist Organisation (FETO) for its own sake, but for its allies. Erdoğan said Turkey and Kazakhstan established a strategic partnership in 2009, which turned into a corporate mechanism in 2012, the Turkey-Kazakhstan High Level Strategic Cooperation Council. He also said Kazakhstan was a country that Turkey gives importance and priority to in terms of economic and commercial partnership, and that Turkey will host Nazarbayev next year for a new meeting. Nazarbayev said they contributed to finding a solution to the Syrian crisis by holding talks in Astana. Turkey and Iran, along with Russia, are the brokers for the Astana peace talks on Syria. At the latest round of talks in May, the three countries announced plans to establish “de-escalation zones” throughout the war-ravaged state.
