Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek received Ergun Kirlikovali, chairman of the American Turkish Associations Assembly, in Ankara on Monday.
Cicek said that Turkish presence in the U.S. was very important, adding that Turkey and the U.S. had a multilateral relationship.
Noting that sometimes there could be some difficulties in the relations, Cicek said that nevertheless the two countries had intense political, economic and military relations for over a half century.
Cicek recalled that the two countries were working together in many international organizations too.
We are trying to contribute to world peace together, said Cicek, adding that the Assembly also had an important mission to settle Turkish-U.S. relations on a sound basis.
