Gul to discuss Caucasus Platform in Moscow
Turkey's President Abdullah Gul will discuss the Turkish-Russian relations during his Moscow visit in December 2008.

"The talks will focus on the financial crisis. Our President will also refer to bilateral relations, regional and international problems," said Halil Akinci, Turkish Ambassador to Russia. He did not rule out that the Caucasus Stability and Corporation Platform will also be considered.

"There are too many people wishing to mediate for peace in the Caucasus. However, Turkish initiative is particular, since it covers the countries of the region, namely Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and will base on the OSCE norms," he said, RIA Novosti reports.
