	Obama: Turkey is very important
	President Obama says his decision to end his trip abroad in Turkey was meant to highlight its importance.Barack Obama, the US president, has begun talks with senior Turkish officials aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between Washington and Ankara.Obama, who is in Ankara on the last leg of an eight-day European tour, is also scheduled to address the Turkish parliament.Obama's two-day visit to Turkey is his first trip to a Muslim country as US president."I look forward to strengthening relations between the United States and Turkey and supporting [the founder of modern Turkey- Mustafa Kemal] Ataturk's vision of Turkey," Obama wrote in the memorial book at Ataturk's mausoleum where he laid a wreath ahead of official talks.In the talks, Obama is expected to try to sell his new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, which includes proposals to counter a persistent Taliban and al-Qaeda campaign.Obama will also "reaffirm US support of Turkey's bid to become a member of the EU", a US official said.France, Austria and other nations oppose Turkey's long-running efforts to join the EU. Others in the organisation have urged Turkey to do more to guarantee minority rights, curb the powers of its military and pass new rights for trade unions.Recent tiffsWhile Turkey has been long regarded as a close US ally in the Muslim world, some analysts believe there has been a cooling of ties during the administration of George Bush, the former US president.However, Obama hopes his visit will strengthen US-Turkish relations strained by the Iraq war.Washington and Ankara had been sharply at odds in recent years over such issues as how to deal with Iran's nuclear programme, the rise to power of Hamas in the Palestinian territory of Gaza, and political developments in Sudan.Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught, reporting from Istanbul, said: "What everyone wants to hear is how Obama will define new US ties with Turkey, because they are concerned that instability in Iraq may increase as the US pulls back, which could make Iraq their problem."At the same time, Turkey has enormous benefit in a peaceful and stable future for Iraq because while exports are down globally, Turkish exports to the re-nascent nation of Iraq are up 75 per cent," she said. "That's not to mention the ongoing security agreement and a very critical emergent relationship between Turkey and the Kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq," McNaught said. Busy tripWhile in Turkey, Obama will visit Istanbul to meet religious leaders, tour historical sites and hold a round-table meeting with university students.He is also scheduled to attend a reception of the Alliance of Civilisations, a forum which aims to foster dialogue between the West and the Muslim world.The Turkish authorities have taken unprecedented security measures in view of Obama's visit.A street leading to the hotel where the US president is staying in Ankara has been blocked off. Military jets and police helicopters have been instructed to patrol the capital's skies.There have been huge protests preceding Obama's visit across many Turkish cities.Protesters said the US president was seeking to pressure Turkey to deploy troops in Afghanistan in an effort to control the situation there.

	Turkey parliament hosts Obama
	Speaking to the Turkish parliament, President Obama says the U.S. supports Turkey's EU bid.During his first visit to a mainly Muslim state, US President Barack Obama has urged Turkey to help bridge the gap between the Muslim and Western worlds.Mr Obama said his trip was a statement of the importance of Turkey to the US, at a news conference in Ankara with his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul.He is hoping to revitalise ties with Turkey, which have deteriorated in recent years over the war in Iraq.On Sunday, Mr Obama voiced his support for Turkey's efforts to join the EU.He told reporters on the flight to Ankara that Turkey's accession would send an important signal to the Muslim world and firmly anchor it within Europe. Before his visit, the US leader attended a Nato summit in France, where he helped to overcome Turkey's objection to Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's appointment as the alliance's next secretary general.Turkey had initially blocked his appointment because he had defended the right of one of his country's newspapers to publish controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, which caused widespread anger among Muslims. But Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Mr Obama's support had helped to assuage his country's concerns.On Monday, Mr Rasmussen promised to pay close attention to religious sensibilities when he takes over the job in August.'Set of strategies'Correspondents say security has been extremely tight for Mr Obama's visit, which began in the capital Ankara on Monday and will later move on to Istanbul.Snipers and riot police have been deployed and military aircraft are patrolling a no-fly zone. Mobile phone signal jammers have also been activated along routes that the president will travel.At the beginning of his visit on Monday, Mr Obama laid a wreath at the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founding father of the modern Turkish state, whose "vision, tenacity and courage" he praised. He then travelled to the presidential palace in Ankara for talks with his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul.After the meeting, Mr Obama told a news conference that they had discussed the need for the US-Turkish partnership to address regional challenges like the threat from terrorism, the war in Afghanistan and the Middle East peace process.He told reporters he wanted to "make a statement about the importance of Turkey, not just to the United States, but to the world", describing it as a blend of "ancient traditions with the modern nation state that respects democracy". "It gives me confidence that moving forward, not only are we going to be able to improve our bilateral relations, but as we work together we are going to be able to shape a set of strategies that can bridge the divide between the Muslim world and the West, that can make us more prosperous and more secure," he added.Mr Obama later stood by his 2008 assertion that the killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915 constituted "genocide" - without repeating the word - but said he had been encouraged by recent talks between Turkey and Armenia.The issue remains highly sensitive between the governments of Armenia and Turkey, which denies those killed were victims of systematic genocide, and as prevented normal diplomatic relations between them for many years.During his presidential election campaign, Mr Obama said the "Armenian genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence".Later, addressing the Turkish parliament, the US president said that while Turkey and his country had not always agreed on everything, the two states were stronger when they acted together. He said Turkey and the US must listen to each other and seek common ground.The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Ankara says the fact that Mr Obama chose to come to Turkey on only his second purely bilateral visit has been welcomed as a sign that he wants to re-engage with it.Public support for the US dropped to a record low during the Bush administration, fuelled mostly by fierce opposition to the invasion of Iraq, our correspondent says.Speaking in Prague on Sunday, Mr Obama said Turkey's entry into the EU would help to consolidate its position as a Western nation."The United States and Europe must approach Muslims as our friends, neighbours and partners in fighting injustice, intolerance and violence, forging a relationship based on mutual respect and mutual interest," he said.But French President Nicolas Sarkozy said it was up to the EU itself to decide who joined the bloc - and that he had always been personally opposed to Turkey's entry.The EU agreed to open accession talks with Ankara in 2004, but in recent years Turkey has made little progress with democratic reforms which would improve its chances of membership.
