No Recep is already planning new elections. The post is in the news section of the board.

Gul is a moderate Islamic-rooted politician just like Recep.

Sudanese president to visit Turkey in August 26th July 2008





Sudan’s President, Omer Hassan al-Bashir is expected in Ankara next month to participate in a Trukey-African Union summit, it would be the first time he attends such gathering since this indictment by an international prosecutor.


The Turkish Foreign Ministry announced today the participation of al-Bashir in the Turkey-African Union Cooperation Summit scheduled to begin on August 18. He is one of the 20 head of state and government who confirmed the invitation addressed by Ankara.

"According to the information we have, the Sudanese president has confirmed he will be attending. We assume that under normal circumstances he will attend," Kenan Tepedelen, the coordinator for African affairs at the Foreign Ministry, told reporters late on Thursday.

Turkey is not party to the Rome Statute of the ICC at present. Ankara is a member of the unofficial group “Friends of the ICC” since 2004.


However during the recent years, Turkey has increasingly developed its commercial and military cooperation with Sudan.


Sudan and Turkey are signatories of a memorandum of understanding in areas of military industrialization, transfer of military technology, training, and provide military services. During his visit to Ankara al-Bashir requested Turkey to sell weapons to the Sudanese armed forces. Defense Minister Vecdi Gönül said at that time that his government is studying the request.

Iranian president to visit Turkey late August 25th July 2008



Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to pay a visit to Turkey next month at the invitation of his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul, Turkish Daily News reported on Friday.

Ahmadinejad's potential visit has been on the agenda for a longtime but could not be finalized due to both the international crisis over Iran's nuclear program and Turkey's presidential and general elections that took place last year, according to the report.

The two neighboring countries have boosted economic, trade, energy and security ties in recent years and the energy ministers of the two sides recently signed a preliminary agreement on transferring Iranian natural gas through Turkish territory and allowing Turkish companies to develop three Iranian natural gas fields in southern Iran.

A couple of documents focusing on economic relations would be signed during the presidential visit, the report added.

Addressing members of his ruling Justice and Development Party, Erdogan hailed the court's decision. "Democracy wins," he said to vigorous applause. "Political and economic stability win."

Turkey proposes the formation of a Caucasian union to resolve conflicts

Turkey is set to take its recent mediation efforts one step forward with vowing to work for the formation of a Caucasian union to help the resolution of the conflicts in the region.


Turkey would start working on the formation of a Caucasian union, which would include Russia as well, Erdogan told reporters in Ankara earlier on Monday.



"I will discuss this issue in the phone conversation that I am planning to make with the United Nations Secretary-General Ban ki-moon," Erdogan said in Ankara, adding this union should be formed with the contribution of other international actors.

This union is the same one that I posted in an earlier thread. Chris has informed me that it is the same as the cook Sea Union.




This is so important for us to watch.
