Turkey's Main Opposition Leader Meets Iraqi President at Socialist International Gathering


Head of Turkey's main opposition party on Friday met with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on the sidelines of a council meeting of the Socialist International in Athens, Greece.

"I am here to talk to Mr. Kilicdaroglu and to strengthen ties with Turkey. I am inviting him to Iraq," Talabani told reporters in his meeting with Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the Republican People's Party.

Talabani said Turkey constituted "an important example" for the Muslim world, adding Turkey also played a crucial role for Syria.
