Ankara: Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan prepares to hold critical
meetings in New York where he flew to attend a UN summit yesterday
evening. Erdogan will attend a dinner US President Bush will give
in honour of the leaders who will attend the UN summit. Erdogan
will remind Bush of the need to fulfil the promises made by the US
administration to remove the threat the PKK [Kurdistan Workers' Party]
presence in northern Iraq poses to Turkey during the reception and
the dinner to be held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
The prime minister will also ask Bush to support Turkey's stance on
the Cyprus problem, which has become the most important instrument
for those who try to put pressure on Turkey on the eve of 3 October.
Erdogan is expected to inform Bush that the Cyprus issue has to be
solved by the UN rather than the EU and ask for his support to have
the UN Security Council debate the UN report on Cyprus.
