"Obama welcomes Turkey's Erdogan to White House
Obama made one of his first foreign trips to Ankara and Istanbul, and delivered a keynote address to the Turkish parliament.
US President Barack Obama met Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the White House on Monday, with differing tacks on Iran in the spotlight as the nuclear crisis reaches a pivotal point.
Obama was also expected to tap into Turkey's historical expertise on Afghanistan, less than a week after announcing a new 30,000 strong troop surge strategy in a bid to pave America's way out of the intractable war."
