 Erdogan says will go ahead with plans to visit Gaza April 23, 2013 - 17:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey’s Prime Minister says he is determined to go ahead with plans to visit the Gaza Strip despite a U.S. request that he delay the trip, The Associated Press reported. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he plans to visit Gaza after a trip to Washington on May 16, but U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged him to postpone the trip saying the time was not right.
