Shimon Peres of Israel refuses to meet Turkish President
Israeli President Shimon Peres said on Monday he declined to meet his Turkish counterpart President Abdullah Gul after he had set conditions Israel could not accept as tensions between the two countries remain high, AFP reported.
The Turkish side, which reportedly initiated the meeting at the UN summit in New York, said that the busy schedule is the reason for declining the meeting.
