    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he had very fruitful
    talks during the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos.

    On his return to Istanbul from Davos, Erdogan said the meetings
    discussed the global finance crisis and ways to revive the global
    economy.

    "I had chance to explain Turkey's vision and priorities in these
    meetings," Erdogan said.

    "We also told our views on Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as
    the Gaza issue and future of the Middle East."

    Erdogan held talks with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin,
    Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, Azerbaijan President Ilham
    Aliyev, Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha, Dutch Prime Minister
    Jan Peter Balkenende, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe Velez, former
    British prime minister and Special Envoy of the Quartet for the
    Middle East Tony Blair, former U.S. vice president Al Gore, Polish
    Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Armenian President Serzh Sargsian and
    Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian.

    Erdogan said he met with John Lipsky, first deputy managing director
    of the International Monetary Fund.

    Erdogan said he called on international investors to invest in Turkey
    at his talks with business circles.

    "They see Turkey as a safe harbor, which is really good for us. I
    heard from many of them that they were planning to invest in Turkey
    this year," Erdogan stated.
