Israel and Armenia will not attend a UN summit of Least Developed
Countries (LDCs) in Istanbul next week, the Turkish Foreign Ministry
said on Friday, May 6.
Israel and Armenia, both invited by the UN to attend the summit, will
not send political delegations to the gathering, Foreign Ministry
Spokesman Selcuk Unal told a news conference. The two countries will,
however, attend the summit, due to take place on May 9-13, only at the
technical level, he added.
About 50 countries are expected to attend the summit at the level of
leaders. Seventy-five will send ministers while another 30 will send
deputy ministers to the UN summit. The government has said invitations
were sent to individual countries by the UN, not Turkey, which is only
hosting the gathering, Today's Zaman reported.
