US, Turkish Diplomats Meet to Discuss Detained Pastor Brunson
19:43 GMT 08.08.2018 (Updated: 12:12 GMT 06.08.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan met with Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Sedat Onal to discuss bilateral issues including Pastor Andrew Brunson, the State Department said in a press release on Wednesday.
"The two discussed a range of bilateral matters including Pastor Brunson," the release said.
The US government recently imposed sanctions on Turkish ministers for not releasing the pastor who was jailed by Ankara for allegedly having a role in the 2016 military coup.
Previous month, Andrew Brunson was released from a Turkish prison and placed under house arrest.
