WILL BUSH RECEIVE GUL?
Support A1+!The presidents of Turkey and the United States will meet in Washington to discuss further cooperation in the fight against the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK). President Abdullah Gul will visit his American counterpart George W. Bush on January 8 on a four-day official visit that will mark the first presidential meeting since Gul has been appointed the President. George Bush will meet Abdullah Gul before leaving for the Middle East.
The main issue to be discussed during the meeting is the fight against terrorism. During the recent months Turkish-American relations have essentially improved. When Bush received the Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan and reflected on the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), he used “common enemy” expression for the first time.
The US prioritizes relations with Turkey today, since George Bush wants to find another solution to the peace process in the Middle East.
