    Turkey's President Abdullah Gul had a meeting with UN Secretary
    General Ban Ki-moon and discussed the situation in the Caucasus and
    the Cyprus problem, a spokesman of the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.

    The Turkish president met the secretary general of the United Nations
    (UN) in New York on Friday.

    Turkey's President Abdullah Gul had a meeting with UN Secretary
    General Ban Ki-moon and discussed the situation in the Caucasus and
    the Cyprus problem, a spokesman of the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.

    Spokesman Burak Ozugergin said Gul asked for Ki-moon's support for
    a platform for cooperation and stability in the Caucasus.

    Gul told Ban Ki-moon that his visit to Armenia was positive, and it
    would improve not only Turkish-Armenian relations but also create a
    new climate in the region.

    President Gul also said that he visited Azerbaijan immediately after
    his trip to Armenia, and thus established a balance.

    During the meeting, Ban said the UN was supporting Cyprus negotiation
    process.

    President Gul also met Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on the sidelines
    of the 63rd session of the UN General Assembly.

    Talabani reiterated his invitation to Gul, and Gul told him that he
    would visit Iraq.

    President Gul congratulated Talabani for the provincial election
    law passed by the Iraqi parliament, and said that this was an
    indicator that active groups in Iraq wanted to reach a compromise
    among themselves.

    Gul later participated in a reception hosted by Tajik President
    Emomali Rahmon.
