Egypt's youth revolutionaries to observe Turkey's polls

Friday, June 3, 2011

Representatives of Egypt’s “January 25 Revolution Youth Coalition,” which pioneered Egypt's recent uprising, will visit Turkey between June 3 and 8, the Egyptian Embassy to Turkey said in a statement Friday.

A delegation of 56 young activists, journalists and bloggers will meet President Abdullah Gül, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Deputy State Minister Ali Babacan and representatives of political parties in order to observe the election process of Turkey.

They will “closely observe the political and economic system of Turkey,” the statement said.

The ambassador of Egypt to Turkey, Abderahman Salaheldin, welcomed Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu’s invitation to the Egyptians youths, said the statement.

The visit, organized by The Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, or SETA, comes ahead of Egypt’s September elections, said the statement, and was decided during Gül’s trip to Egypt.
