from Turkey’s Gul says pleased with increasing consencus on new ..
President Gul attended the World Leaders Forum at the Columbia University in New York and delivered a speech “What Next? Turkey’s Global Vision for a Prosperous Future”.

It is so easy to know the nature of web censorship in Turkey…
