President Abdullah Gul and his visiting Swiss counterpart Pascal
Couchepin yesterday attended a ceremony at a historical museum in
Ankara along with other high level Turkish and foreign officials as
part of celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of Turkish-Swiss
diplomatic relations. Speaking at the ceremony, Couchepin said that
Switzerland considered Turkey a strategic partner, and expressed
his hope that the cooperation between the two countries would
continue. Pointing to his gladness about signing the Treaty of Lausanne
that the boundaries of modern Turkey were recognized through, Couchepin
underlined that symbols are also important for ties between the two
countries. Couchepin said that he brought the table, on which the
Treaty of Lausanne was signed, from his country to give as a gift to
Turkey. For his part, Gul characterized the table morally "important",
and said that this table will be displayed the best way.
