    A member of a Turkish parliamentary delegation that has been holding a
    series of talks in Washington D.C. said on Friday that the delegation
    invited U.S. President Barack Obama to Turkey again.

    Holding a press conference on the Turkish delegation's talks in USA,
    Cuneyt Yuksel, member of the Turkish-U.S. Inter-parliamentary
    Friendship Group, said that the delegation invited Obama to the
    "Alliance of Civilizations" meeting to be held in Turkey on April 6-7.

    Upon a question on the criticisms claiming that Turkey's active policy
    in the Middle East damaged the country's ties to the West, Yuksel
    said, "Turkey has a clear strategic target which is full membership to
    EU. Those trying to show Turkey as something else, are acting unfair".

    Commenting on Turkish-Armenian relations as well, Yuksel said both
    Turkish and U.S. officials expressed during the talks that the
    positive atmosphere between Turkey and Armenia should be maintained.
