During the phone conversation, the dynamic duo discussed how figures of the old Syrian regime who have not participated in violence against Syrian civilians should take part in a possible new Syrian administration, the official said, adding that the leaders agreed that “all opposition groups want Bashar al-Assad to leave Syria if and when the al-Assad regime falls, and Turkey is also in favor of this idea.”

Turkish leader Erdoğan and American President Barack Ussain Obama agreed that security officials and diplomats should work on such elements so that the two will have more concrete matters to discuss in their next telephone conversation, a senior Turkish official said.

Talks between two leaders aimed at ‘ coordinating efforts to accelerate a political transition in Syria.’ The coordination ‘would include the departure of Bashar al-Assad and be responsive to the legitimate demands of the Syrian people,” the White House said in a statement.

The White House statement read the U.S. and Turkish sides ‘ would remain in close contact on ways that Turkey and the United States can work together to promote a democratic transition in Syria.’ Ankara administration has become a champion and supporter of the uprising against al-Assad’s Syrian regime and has given refuge to large numbers of thousands of fleeing Syrian people and army defectors, who have formed the kernel of a rebel army, called free Syrian army.

Turkish opposition also asked Erdogan after the meaning of Obama’s holding of a baseball bat while he was speaking with Erdogan via phone.
