Yet another blog from Reuters on
President Obama's visit to Turkey and the emphasis each time beckons one to add the newest
voice on the world stage to one's great success here in Tel Aviv in Israel since my work on www.shvoong.com predates Obama as Elected
President of America thus this abstract! The US President is making a maiden voyage to Turkey and having met with the Turkish President and Turkish Prime Minister he is at pains to stress the US links with Turkey and how he feels that these links are without borders .... apparently .... Reuters blogged ... that Obama was in communication with the Czech President about Turkey's EU
Membership acceptance urging him to push for Turkey's EU Membership ..... thus upsetting his already perfect record in Europe with France and Germany - nevertheless the President is backing Turkey's bid to join the E.U. in full membership.
President Obama has stressed that the United States is not at war with Islam and emphasises the Turkish American link and refers fleetingly to this success that is Turkish American link - being channeled and visually apparent in sport i.e. Basketball!
Interestingly enough, President Obama laid a wreath while in Turkey.. in the tradition of laying wreaths I guess! However, it was stressed that in terms of the much heralded issue of Armenia - Genocide - and Turkey .. Obama was sidestepping that issue and stressed the improvement of that conflict and its commented that this Armenia -Genocide - Turkey issue is decades old! Obama did not banter nor use these words and there is an inference of dialogue and solution to this issue in relation to Turkey and the US and their ongoing and continuing relationship ... Turkey is a Muslim Country and Obama is not against this Muslim or any other Muslim Country ...Reuters blog .. nice work!
