Chancellor-Designate Merkel to Visit Turkey
Incoming German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday said she had accepted an invitation to visit Turkey in the first half of next year, and expressed hope the two countries would enjoy strong ties.
Merkel made the announcement after meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül, who conveyed the invitation on behalf of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in Berlin
She said she would like to see "good and intensive cooperation" between Germany and Turkey and stressed that they enjoyed a "common bond" because both were members of NATO.
