/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish president Abdullah Gul will meet with
his Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres to discuss advancing the
Turkey-mediated negotiations between Israel and Syria, a senior
Turkish official told Haaretz.
This will be Gul's first visit as president, though he came here
three times in his previous role as foreign minister.
The two leaders will also discuss the Iranian nuclear threat, an issue
on which they disagreed sharply when Peres visited Ankara last year.
