Former British prime minister Tony Blair on Wednesday met Turkish Premier Ahmet Davutoglu and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara for talks on the Middle East, state media said.
Blair, who is spearheading his own Middle East peace initiative, met Davutoglu for 70 minutes of talks at the premier's headquarters in Cankaya Palace in downtown Ankara, the state-run Anatolia news agency said.
He then met Erdogan for one-and-a-half hours at his vast new presidential palace on the outskirts of the capital, it added.
There was no detail on the content of the talks from the closed-door meetings. But a source told AFP that Blair "discussed the Middle East and the wider region" with the Turkish leaders.Britain ex-PM Blair meets Turkish leaders on Middle East
