Erdogan Will Not Attend Trump's Peace Council, Turkey to be Represented by Foreign Minister

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has stated that he will not personally attend the Peace Council convened by the US in Davos, but will be represented by Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. The invitation to participate in the council was extended to Erdogan by Donald Trump, with the aim of playing a role in the reconstruction and security of Gaza. Erdogan has avoided similar international events since 2009, following an incident at Davos with Shimon Peres.
