Tale of Two Presidents (revised)

The President of Turkey is Abdullah Gül; Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is the Prime Minister, as was pointed out by a reader commenting on my former post.

Here are some links to articles, including several which were sent to me by Aydın Eroğlu, our wonderful guide on our Early Christian World Pilgrimages.






There are a lot more articles in the Turkish press, and link to them on their pages.  You can keep up-to-date as events of this historic visit by visiting both Today's Zaman (a news agancy that strongly suppports the current AK party's government) and Turkish Daily News (the English-language arm of the news agency Hurriyet, somewhat more "left-leaning" in supporting secularist views).  It's fascinating to compare . . .
