FM Gül's critical visit to US
Hürriyet Ýnternet
Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül's upcoming visit to the US comes at a
time when Turkey's expectations about US movement on sensitive issues
are increasing. A laundry list of topics could be up for discussion,
including the so-called Armenian Genocide, PKK terror, Iraq as a
whole and the Kirkuk question, Iraq's relations with neighbouring
countries and Cyprus.
During his visit, which includes stops in Washington and New York,
Gül will get together with US Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley,
many members of the Congress and Senate, and the Jewish lobby. It is
yet unclear whether Gül will meet Nancy Pelosi, chairwoman of the
House of Representatives, where it is expected that the Armenian
Genocide issue will be raised.
