    PRESIDENT ERDOÄ?AN TO MEET WITH JEWISH AND ARMENIAN LEADERS IN NEW YORK

    Daily Sabah


    NEW YORK ' President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄ?an is expected to meet with
    Jewish and Armenian leaders in New York as a part of his trip to the
    69th session of the United Nations General Assembly for Climate
    Summit, which is due to take place between September 22 and October 1.

    On the second day of his trip to New York, President ErdoÄ?an will meet
    with a committee from the World Jewish Congress led by Ronald Steven
    Lauder. ErdoÄ?an has previously vowed to protect the rights of the
    Jewish community in Turkey and has asserted that the government will
    never let the Jewish people in Turkey get hurt.

    Known for his conciliatory approach to the Armenian citizens in Turkey
    while he was the prime minister, ErdoÄ?an will accept Archbishop Khajag
    Barsamian the primate of Diocese of Armenian Church of America
    (Eastern) and the president of the Fund for Armenian Relief during his
    New York trip. ErdoÄ?an was previously praised by the Armenian
    community in Turkey for officially apologizing for the events of 1915,
    an unprecedented move in the history of modern Turkey.

    President ErdoÄ?an's New York agenda also include a meeting with UN
    Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, an interview with American journalist
    Charlie Rose and a meeting with Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc.

    The AK Party is in the process of returning the properties of Armenian
    foundations in Turkey, a move warmly welcomed by the Armenian
    community in Turkey.

    The World Jewish Congress was established as an international
    organization of Jewish communities and is recognized as the diplomatic
    arm of the Jewish people. The Armenian Church on the other hand is
    considered to be one of the most ancient Christian communities.

    President ErdoÄ?an is also set to meet with other world leaders during
    the UN Climate Summit in New York.
