Dr. @AliBakeer &Dr. @eyupersoy:"The decision to enhance bilateral relations is not up to #Turkey alone, both sides have to come to an agreement that better relations between #Riyadh and #Ankara would advance their mutual interests in the region and beyond"

About #IraqElections, @DrAbbasKadhim: "Had this election had a great turnout, we would have seen a major loss for several traditional parties & it would have translated into major gains for independents & the protestors-leaning candidates"
