Obama`s foreign policy aide visits Turkey for Syria talks
The U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations and President Barack Obama`s key foreign policy aide, Samantha Power, will visit Turkey this week to discuss the Syrian crisis and other regional issues, Turkish Foreign Ministry officials have told the Hurriyet Daily News.
As part of her regional trip, Ambassador Power will hold talks in Istanbul, meeting Deputy Undersecretary Omer Onhon on June 12, before visiting a refugee camp for Syrians in the southern province of Gaziantep. The situation in Syria will be high up the agenda during talks in the Foreign Ministry, along with a number of other regional issues, a Turkish official said.

Power served as Special Assistant to Obama and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights on the National Security Staff at the White House, prior to serving as U.S. Permanent Representative to the U.N.
