Upon the invitation of Queen Elizabeth II, Turkish President Abdullah
Gul is planning a two-day visit to London together with his wife,
Hayrunnisa Gul.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutohlu and Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan
will reportedly accompany the president during the visit that will
last from 22 until 24 November.
The Turkish newspaper Radikal says that ahead of his scheduled tour,
Gul visited an Armenian tailor in Istanbul to order a tailcoat.
But Gul is not thought to be the only person who is visiting the
Buckingham palace wearing an item by an Armenian master. His wife
Hayrunnisa is also said not to be indifferent to Armenian masters' art.
In the course of her visit to Strasburg last year, Turkey's first lady
was wearing a ring made by the famous Istanbul based Armenian jeweler,
Sevak Bicakri.
When asked by reporters about the wonderful ring on her finger,
Ms Gul motioned with pride that its author was an Armenian.
"Our craftsmen are Armenians and Greeks. That's our diversity, our
attraction. I wear this ring especially during my trips abroad,"
she said.
