UNITED
NATIONS,
October 3,
updated --
Turkey wasted
no time. Right
after a shell
landed on the
Turkish side
of the
country's
border with
Syria,
foreign
minister
Davotoglu
called UN
Secretary
General and
his envoy
to Syria
Lakhdar
Brahimi.
Then
at 1 pm on
Wednesday
Inner City
Press
exclusively
witnessed
Turkey's
Permanent
Representative
to the UN
Apakan and
four other
members of
the Turkish
mission walk
into the
Security
Council. In
the chamber
there was an
open debate on
Haiti, but
they did not
turn that way.
When
they emerged,
Inner City
Press asked
Ambassador
Apakan if his
visit
had been
"Haiti related
or shell
related?"
"Shell
related,"
he exclusively
told Inner
City Press.
One assumes
for
now that a
letter was
delivered, or
meeting held
with this
month's
Council
president,
Guatemala.
Watch this
site.
Update
of 1:45 pm -
Inner City
Press asked
Security
Council
president Gert
Rosenthal of
Guatemala
about Turkish
Ambassador
Apakan's visit
and comment to
the Press.
Yes, Rosenthal
said,
Ambassador
Apakan met
with him,
about the
Akcakale
"incident"
there might a
communication
(that is, at
least
initially, a
letter from
Turkey) later
in the day.
