  • ANKARA: Gul Hosts Think-Tank Heads At Cankaya Palace

    PRESIDENT GUL HOSTS THINK-TANK HEADS AT CANKAYA PALACE

    Turkish Press
    June 30 2008

    President Abdullah Gul yesterday hosted a luncheon at the Cankaya
    Presidential Palace for the heads of three think-tanks, the latest
    in a series of invitations to prominent civilian figures since
    he took office last year. Former Ambassador Faruk Logoglu of the
    Eurasia Strategic Studies Centre (ASAM), Guven Sak of the Turkey
    Economic Policy Research Foundation (TEPAV), and Ibrahim Kalin of
    the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research (SETA)
    attended the event. Touching on this fall`s US presidential election,
    Gul said that it is essential for Turkey to reach out to advisors to
    the two presidential nominees, and to make clear Turkey`s views on
    such issues as terrorism and the Armenian allegations. "We have to
    strengthen ties with the US presidential nominees," he urged. Stating
    that Turkey has to follow global dynamics closely, he said that
    universities have a great role to play in this process. Commenting
    on the Turkish National Football Team`s historic win over Croatia
    last week, Gul said that he will go to Basel to watch Wednesday`s
    Turkey-Germany semifinal match. /Turkiye-Star/
