World | Russia | Turkey The guest list for the meeting in Istanbul of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA), reads like a "who's who" of leaders from world hot spots, with participants from the Middle East, South Asia and the Korean Peninsula. Israel is one of 20 members of the forum, but has decided to send a diplomat from its consulate, an Israeli embassy official said on Sunday, rather than expose a more senior figure to the fury generated by the killing of nine Turkish pro-Palestinian activists in the Israeli commando operation last Monday. Turkey is expected to try to raise pressure on Israel to end the four-year old blockade of 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza during a conference on Monday which precedes Tuesday's full summit. The diplomatic momentum will continue on Wednesday, as Arab League foreign ministers gather in Istanbul for the Turkish-Arab Cooperation Forum. Turkey, NATO's only Muslim member, has sought to raise its international profile in recent years. Positioned next to countries along the Gulf and Caspian Sea, where most of the world's oil and gas is found, Turkey holds geostrategic value in a conflict-prone region. It wants to join the European Union and become a major regional power, shedding the straitjacket of its Cold War era role as ally of the West. Critics caution that Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's Islamist-leaning government risks tilting too far in trying to forge stronger ties with Middle East governments the West does not trust. EIGHT PRESIDENTS While CICA aspires to ideals of collective security to minimize threats of conflict within its region there are several hard core enemies of Israel among its diverse membership. Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas are among eight presidents participating in the Eurasian summit. President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, though not a member, is attending as a guest. Plenty of discussion is expected to focus on Israel and the blockade it says is necessary to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of Hamas militants in Gaza. But other topics, including Afghanistan, will also be debated. "Afghanistan and Gaza are equally test cases for us," Turkish Foreign Ministry Deputy Undersecretary Unal Cevikoz told a news conference on Saturday. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is to meet Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi before the summit in a trilateral spearheaded by Turkey to build confidence between two deeply suspicious neighbors who are both fighting Taliban militants. Cevikoz said he did not expect the meeting to focus much on Iran's nuclear program, despite momentum for a new sanctions resolution against the Islamic Republic in the U.N. Security Council. Turkey, with Brazil's help, brokered an accord with Iran last month for a nuclear fuel swap, in the hope of heading off sanctions against a fellow Muslim neighbor, major trading partner and key supplier of gas. There will be an inevitable focus on any exchanges between Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Ahmadinejad, after the Iranian leader sharply criticized the Kremlin for supporting a draft sanctions resolution. China will be represented at the Istanbul summit by State Councillor Dai Bingguo, a high-ranking foreign policy official, while India is sending a trade minister. CICA was first established in the early 1990s by Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, whose country hosted the only two previous summits, the last one four years ago.

Maybe if the US could be fair in it’s dealings with Israel and Palestine, we wouldn’t need critics or be discussing Israel, Turkey or Palestine. hadenough2 Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:16am EDT The Reuters news brand, once esteemed for factual reporting, is nothing more than a mouthpiece for international terrorists. The ships the Israeli’s boarded were loaded with Muslim terrorists. Why isn’t that fact reported and expanded on? Goodbye Reuters…you are officially the bad guys now. ruralascention Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:47am EDT are you kidding reuters is the only one giving both sides..unlike jpost, ynetnews and haaretz..all israeli mouth pieces which is almost every story on google news..washington post..fox news ..wallstreet journal..all jewish owned..your just typical of the common israeli..the ships israel baorded were in international waters..the ships were civilian..the killings were murder by terrorists..israeli terrorists..why don’t you just go to ..welcome to the goldstone report..click ..special photo documentation..and educate yourself before you post..before you sound like a talking head for fox news..or jpost..go to un resolutions against israel..amnesty international..or are these terrorists org..or are you just affraid to look at the truth. 1realamerican Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:48am EDT It is quite the coincidence that Turkey unofficially sponsors an attempt to provoke Israel while the Pope is in North Cyprus to denounce the Turkish occupation of North Cyprus. Not a lot of attention was paid to the Pope’s visit seeing how all the media was focused on Israel. SmartenUp Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:49am EDT So 47 people died in an unprovoked North Korean torpedo attack and we are still focusing on 9 people. Give me a break. There are more important things going on in the world. The palestinians have the best propaganda machine the world has ever seen. USAalltheway Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:49am EDT How would you know that all the people that were on the raided liner were terrorists. You must be the guy with the black skull cap talking from your luxurious home in Forest Hill village in Toronto. If you don’t like it then move to Israel. molochar Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:57am EDT just go to opensecerts.org and follow all the pro-israel money to our government whores..our media is almost 100% owned and operated by jewish (israeli) americans..time for china and russia to take the lead in the middle east..most americans do not side with israel..except our pro-israel pac paid government. 1realamerican Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:57am EDT @ruralascention Yes, you don’t like opposing opinion; so you keep your eyes closed and go back to Fox News where your beliefs can be dictated and fed. There were reporters reporting live during the boarding last Saturday. If the commandos were behaving properly, WHY DID THEY FEEL THE NEED to sever communications. You would think they would’ve welcomed live reporting showing them offering flowers to the passengers. hadenough2 Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 8:59am EDT Are we seeing the ascendance of the ‘new’ 21st century broker in the region? kaceltd Report As Abusive See All Comments (20) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
