"The president extended condolences to President Erdogan on behalf of the American people for those killed and injured in today’s terrorist attack in Diyarbakir, and reaffirmed the support of the United States for Turkey’s security and our mutual struggle against terrorism," the White House said.
The leaders also discussed how to advance our shared effort to degrade and destroy ISIL.
Earlier in the day, a car bomb attack targeting Turkish police forces left seven officers dead and at least 27 people injured in Diyarbakir, southeastern Turkey.
