Turkish President Rejap Tayip Erdoghan has sent two special
representatives to Barrack O’bama and John McCain, the Democratic and
Republican contenders participating in the US Presidential elections
which are going to be held on the 4th of November.

The two special representatives, i.e. Ahmed Davoudohghlu,
Mr. Erdoghan’s Chief Advisor on Political Issues, and Suat Kynkyloghlu,
Vice Chair of the Committee on Foreign Relations, are going to meet
with the Advisors of candidates O’bama and McCain. They are going to
introduce to the two US presidential candidates "Turkey’s views" on the
allegations of the Armenian Genocide, the "terrorism" of the Kurdish
Labor Party and the problem of Cyprus and other regional issues.

The message which is going to be addressed to candidates O’bama and
McCain contains the following statement, "It is necessary to have
a proper understanding of the tendencies addressed to Turkey by
Armenia. It is important for the US Presidential candidates to hear
Turkey’s views at first hand, along with the views expressed by the
Armenian Diaspora" and "for the desirable exhortations which Washington
is going to address to the Armenian Diaspora to contribute to the
establishment of peace in the Caucasus." Mr. Erdoghan’s "personal"
representatives would ask the US Presidential candidates to assist
them in the implementation of the Turkish proposal on the establishment
of a platform of stability and cooperation in the Caucasus.

In its message, Turkey has called on the US Presidential candidates
to continue the Turkey-US military cooperation in case one of them
is elected to the post of President.
