Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, currently visiting the US to
attend the annual United Nations General Assembly meeting, yesterday
continued his bilateral talks with top world leaders. Meeting with
representatives of US Jewish groups, Erdogan urged them to back
Turkey’s efforts to block the Armenian lobby from getting the US
Congress to pass an Armenian resolution. The premier then met with
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The two leaders reportedly
discussed bilateral energy agreements and Iran’s nuclear program as
well as the Iraq issue. In addition, Erdogan rang the opening bell
at the New York Stock Exchange.
