Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addresses the parliament in Ankara
Ankara - Arab Today

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Saturday a US Congress vote to override Barack Obama’s veto of a bill allowing 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia, saying he expected the move to be reversed as soon as possible.
Relations between Ankara and Riyadh have tightened considerably in the past months as they pursue joint interests in Syria. Erdogan had just the day earlier hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin NaIf for talks at his palace.
“The allowing by the US Congress of lawsuits to be opened against Saudi Arabia over the 9/11 attacks is unfortunate,” Erdogan said in a speech for the opening of parliament.
“It’s against the principle of individual criminal responsibility for crimes. We expect this false step to be reversed as soon as possible,” he added.
Families of 9/11 victims have campaigned for the law, convinced the Saudi government had a hand in the attacks that killed almost 3,000 people.
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens, but no link to the government has been proven. The Saudi government denies any ties to the plotters.
Obama called the vote a “dangerous precedent” while Saudi Arabia warned it risked having “disastrous consequences.”
The visit by the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif to Ankara was the latest sign of the burgeoning relationship between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Erdogan told Naif Friday that the expanding ties “offer opportunities for regional and global stability,” the Anadolu news agency said. Crown Prince Mohammed said Riyadh was pleased that the two countries “have the same thinking on all issues.”
Erdogan also bestowed on the crown prince Turkey’s second highest state decoration for foreign nationals, the Order of the Republic.
The Turkish president earlier this year also backed Saudi Arabia in a diplomatic crisis with Iran over Riyadh’s execution of Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr Al-Nimr, convicted of terrorism, in January.
