ANKARA, Jan 26 (AFP) - Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has scheduled a meeting with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to discuss Turkey's candidature in the European Union and the situation in divided Cyprus, Turkish and German sources said Wednesday.
The meeting was expected to take place at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, starting Wednesday.
The Anatolia news agency said Erdogan would also meet the Pakistani and Egyptian prime ministers, and press reports said he would meet with Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain.
Erdogan used the 2003 World Economic Forum to press UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to reopen discussions aimed at reunifying Cyprus.
Talks were resumed but led to failure when Greek Cypriots rejected a UN-proposed settlement in a referendum before joining the EU in May.
