"Turkey, US hold off talks on critical issues
The New Anatolian / Ankara
Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul's health problems have caused the postponement of his planned visit to U.S. and exchange of views with the Washington administration on key foreign policy issues, including Iran, Iraq and Cyprus.
Turkish diplomats said on Tuesday that, in the absence of Gul, State Minister Kursad Tuzmen will head to the Turkish delegation in the annual three-day American-Turkish Council conference set to start on Sunday. But the previously planned meetings of Gul with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley had to be postponed."
