Obama Ends Overseas Trip in Turkey
----------------------------------



President Obama is in Turkey today making his first visit to a Muslim
nation as president.

President Obama: “I have now spent a week traveling through Europe, and
I’ve been asked, ‘Are you trying to make a statement by ending this
week-long trip in Turkey?’ And the answer is yes, I am trying to make a
statement. I’m trying to make a statement about the importance of
Turkey, not just to the United States, but to the world.”
