Erdogan at Arab League Summit

Recently, Turkish government is focusing on Turkey's ties to the Middle East. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is currently in Saudi Arabia attending a two-day Arab summit as the guest of Saudi King Abdullah. Addressing the gathering two days ago, Erdogan commented on the need for peace and stability in the Middle East, saying that everyone was injured by the constant stream of deaths in Iraq. Erdogan further urged that stability and security should be ensured in Iraq as soon as possible. “Protecting Iraq’s political unity and territorial integrity has vital importance for regional peace and stability,” he said. “The possibility of Iraq’s division is an unacceptable and tragic scenario.” Afterwards, Erdogan held bilateral meetings with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. Speaking after their meeting, Talabani said that they had discussed a number of issues, including the Iraqi city of Kirkuk and terrorism, adding that their meeting had been positive and constructive. “We resolved to solve problems through dialogue,” he added.
