Biden told Erdogan that he was interested in overcoming differences of opinion.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that the White House said in a statement.

"President Biden spoke today with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, conveying his interest in a constructive bilateral relationship with expanded areas of cooperation and effective management of disagreements," the statement said.

A statement from the Turkish presidency said Biden and Erdogan agreed on "the strategic character of the bilateral relationship and the importance of working together to build greater cooperation on issues of mutual interest."

Earlier this week, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu had warned that Biden's move would sour bilateral relations.

"If the United States wants to worsen ties, the decision is theirs," he said.
