    Armenian President won't attend UN summit in Turkey

    Israel and Armenia will not attend a UN summit of Least Developed
    Countries (LDCs) in Istanbul next week, the Turkish Foreign Ministry
    said on Friday, May 6.

    Israel and Armenia, both invited by the UN to attend the summit, will
    not send political delegations to the gathering, Foreign Ministry
    Spokesman Selcuk Unal told a news conference. The two countries will,
    however, attend the summit, due to take place on May 9-13, only at the
    technical level, he added.

    About 50 countries are expected to attend the summit at the level of
    leaders. Seventy-five will send ministers while another 30 will send
    deputy ministers to the UN summit. The government has said invitations
    were sent to individual countries by the UN, not Turkey, which is only
    hosting the gathering, Today's Zaman reported.
