'Ankara, Bishkek need to collaborate against terror'

Ankara and Bishkek need to collaborate against global terror to ensure people’s safety, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday.

"We need to collaborate and fight against the global terror threat to ensure the safety of our nations," Erdogan wrote in an article for the Erkin Too newspaper ahead of his visit to Kyrgyzstan.

Erdogan will pay a visit to Kyrgyzstan between Sept. 1 and 3 to attend the High Level Strategic Council and 6th Turkic Council Summit. 

The president said the Fetullah Terror Organization (FETO) is not only a threat for Turkey but is also a global terror threat like Daesh and the PKK/YPG for the whole world.

Erdogan also said Turkey maintains increasing investments abroad and opens doors for businessmen who want to benefit from the "advantageous investment environment" in the country.

"Our fundamental aim is to base our relations with every single country that we cooperate with on the mutual win-win principle," he said.

Erdogan added that Turkey and Kyrgyzstan have "many opportunities" that will benefit their ties.
