    Turkish President Abdullah Gul called U.S. President Barack Obama on
    Saturday over several foreing policy issues, Turkish media said.

    Gul reportedly asked him to help Turkey in two issues when Turkey was
    getting prepared for changes in its foreign policy.

    Reports said Gul told Obama to urge the Minsk Group to take action and
    solve the Upper Karabakh dispute, and to support settlement of Cyprus
    problem.

    Turkey urges Armneia to end occupation in Azeri land where since early
    1990s in which nearly 30,000 people died and 2 million were forced to
    flee their homes.

    On the other hand, the two men discussed "the historic progress that
    is being made on normalization of relations between Turkey and
    Armenia, and the importance of maintaining the momentum in this
    important effort," the White House said in a statement.

    Turkey and Armenia signed two protocols a week ago to normalise ties.

    Foreing report also said, Gul and Obama discussed the "situation in
    Afghanistan" and agreed to work closely in the "critical weeks" ahead.

    Obama is in the midst of defining a new strategy for the Afghan occupation.

    The two men also discussed the need for "sustained engagement" in
    resolving the ongoing conflict in Cyprus, and in "promoting stability"
    in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

    Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu now is holding talks in
    Bosnia-Herzegovina.
