the our embassies in turkey and consulates who have been arrested and imprisoned for some time mr bronson was arrested two years ago and i have seen text of the evidence presented against him and it looks really very unbelievable and so i think this is the test of how these two countries are going to get along the two presidents talk to foreign ministers talk to a number of times and i'm sorry that they were not able to come to a solution but i think this is about the relationship more than focused on whether this is a punishment of two individuals these people certainly were heavily involved in the case against mr bronson this is about the relationship and it's about the two sides looking at each other with respect and working on their common problems that's why i think that may be true for the interior minister as well so that the idea is not what happens to these two individuals but this is a metaphor for something troubling in the relationship that needs to be settled and sorted out the u.s. is planning to impose even higher tariffs on chinese imports upping the ante from ten percent

it's now been going on for two years there's a simple solution to this release mr bronson to go to the united states for medical care they don't have to drop the charges and then do on the economy what any group of intelligent economic specialists would do with an economy with a falling currency and we can then concentrate with turkey on number of other issues so what you're saying is that trump is basically playing to his domestic base and he's appeasing these senators that you speak of but once again i fail to understand how this will actually help secure his release. well we don't know that's the result of this negotiation i think there's a way for turkey to let him go without losing their position which is that he committed crimes and suspend the case and also i think that would relieve a lot of pressure on the lira which is now falling and hurting millions of turkish people unnecessarily and with that opening on the economic side as well the lyric could be stabilized and we could get back to doing other things so i think you have a good point but i don't think that that's the reas

feels very strongly that these charges against mr bronson are fabricated and so there's going to have to be some time and some additional conversation but i take from what has been said even in anger that both sides are ready to pursue a conversations and i hope they'll take place one of the things that i did notice was that allen was mentioning in his by his report earlier on that they were geared towards particularly any assets held in the u.s. by the two men the turkish justice minister goal i said he doesn't own any property all have any money outside tookey so how effective is that likely to be in that case well if he doesn't own anything outside the u.s. then there's nothing for the u.s. sanctions to apply to so as i said before more than focused on whether this is a punishment of two individuals these people certainly were heavily involved in the case against mr bronson this is about the relationship and it's about the two sides looking at each other with respect and working on their common problems that's why i think that may be true for the interior minister as well so that t

economy as well as this war of words continues what about the moments of the emerging polls to mr bronson what are his options. well his lawyer had said that they would try and appeal to the high court in is mere the city where mr bronson is undergoing house arrest they would try another attempt to do that if not he also indicated that they might even take the appeal to the country's constitutional court with that in mind of course it is interesting to note that it is. very much play being played up that it is an evangelical pastor that is in the in the center of all this as well and for mr trump of course he is appealing to his base in the states a very solid part of his support network there and with that the political factor of that but with that they have seemed to be some kind of of intention to try and resolve this is diplomatically as possible certainly turkey has said that it wants to resolve this diplomatically as possible one thing that is for sure this very tough stance being taken by the u.s. is not really going down well at all and in actual fact other countries aside from fr

for ten years so there is a solution to this problem if i may say so it's very straightforward mr bronson should be allowed to return to the united states for medical care and the charges can be left as they are but mr bronson can go home with his family and to his family and secondly on the economic side two simple steps are required one mr iraq can work with the group he described his press conference yesterday to announce a new reform program for the turkish economy based on turkey's own principles and one would be to use interest rates temporarily to re firm the lehrer's value and secondly to undertake a thorough reform of the turkish economy along principles that would help turkey be more competitive in the international arena and that would allow both countries to then turn to the issues that are in front of them without having to end up this process by pointing the other by making the other one responsible for the damage so i hope that they'll consider these three steps because they could easily end this issue and we could go on to the more serious strategic issues that face us so.
