"Turkish prime minister will meet with pope
VATICAN CITY (AP) Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to meet Pope Benedict XVI in Turkey on Tuesday, in a change of plans that appeared to signal openness to a visit that has angered many Turks.
Erdogan originally said he could not meet the pope because he would be attending a NATO summit in Latvia. He will now meet Benedict at the airport when the pontiff arrives, then leave for Latvia, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said today."
