Turkish and US officials have agreed to meet to work on resolving a diplomatic dispute between the two NATO allies, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said on Thursday. Talks between the foreign ministers were constructive, Reuters quoted Bozdag as saying. Bozdag told broadcaster Haberturk that a US consulate employee arrested in Turkey “had not demanded lawyer access” and the US mission could apply to send a lawyer to see him.
