Turkish president to visit Jordan before year's end
Jordan-Turkey, Politics, 8/14/1998

The Turkish ambassador in Amman, Suha Omar announced yesterday that Turkish President Suleyman Demirel is going to pay a visit to Jordan in October or November.

Omar also said that the visit of the Turkish president to Jordan will be preceded by the visit of Prime Minister Masout Yilmaz.

On the other hand Jordanian daily al-Doustour yesterday reported that the Turkish ambassador expressed his country's readiness to provide Jordan with fresh water, referring to his country's desire to help Jordan overcome the problem of potable water, from which it is suffering.

He said that implementing this by Turkey would take time because transporting the water from the river of Mala and Nemet to Jordan might need a time period not more than six months, if the two parties could reach an agreement.
