Syria expected to top agenda during Erdogan's Berlin visit

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is to visit Berlin for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel on October 30-31, the Turkish embassy in the German capital said Tuesday, dpa reported.

The official reason for the visit is the opening of a new building at the embassy.

However, the tension between Turkey and the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is expected to top the agenda during his talks with Merkel.
