ANKARA

Turkey attaches a great importance to its relations with the U.S., the head of the Turkish Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee said on Tuesday.

In a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Turkey David Satterfield, Volkan Bozkir said Satterfield's experience in the region is a great advantage for both the U.S. and Turkey.

The two countries should move the relations forward, Bozkir added.
