    ArmInfo. Turkish President Abdullah Gul has been nominated for Chatham
    House Prize 2010.

    Chathan House official website reports that Abdullah Gul has been a
    significant figure for reconciliation and moderation within Turkey
    and internationally, and a driving force behind many of the positive
    steps that Turkey has taken in recent years.

    Mr Gul has worked to deepen Turkey's traditional ties with the Middle
    East, mediate between the fractious groups in Iraq and bring together
    the Afghan and Pakistani leaderships to try to resolve disputes during
    2009. He has also made significant efforts to reunify the divided
    island of Cyprus and has played a leading role in accelerating the
    unprecedented reconciliation process between Turkey and Armenia,
    including through his 'football diplomacy'.

    President Gul is an unwavering proponent of anchoring Turkey in the
    European Union. Under his leadership, Turkey has consolidated civilian
    democratic rule and pursued extensive political and legal reforms
    to bring the country closer to European standards of democracy and
    human rights, the website says.
