After receiving an invitation from U.S. President Barack Obama,
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is planning to visit
Washington on Oct. 29 following talks in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
"I received the invitation [from Obama] today," Erdogan told
journalists on the plane after wrapping up his visit in Baghdad on
Thursday. "We’ve been working on alternative dates. If we fix Oct. 29,
we will proceed to the United States from Iran."
Turkey has repeatedly expressed its readiness to contribute to any
reconciliation process between Iran and the United States. Neither
of the sides, however, has asked it to play such a mediation role,
Turkish Hurriet reported.
