US Vice President visits Turkey in November

During his visit to Turkey he will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and non – governmental representatives, a White House press release says.

Biden will travel to Turkey after having visited Morocco and the Ukraine.

On November 17 Biden will be in Marrakech leading the US delegation to the 5th Annual Global Entrepreunerhip Summit.

His tour continues with a visit in the Ukraine where he will meet with the country`s President Petro Poroshenko as well with government and civil society leaders.

More information about the Vice President`s schedule will be forthcoming at a later date, the press release adds.

Well informed sources say that a telephone conversation has been arranged between Biden and Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades in the coming days.

Biden who visited Cyprus earlier in the year has said that he has been deeply involved more than anybody else in the Congress with the Cyprus issue in his entire career.

Turkish seismic exploration vessel "Barbaros" entered Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The move comes a few days after Turkey issued a maritime order (NAVTEX) for the area. This prompted President Nicos Anastasiades to suspend his participation in the UN backed negotiations which aim to reunify the island under a federal roof.
