Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir discussed "Darfur" at a meeting in the Turkish largest city of Istanbul on Tuesday, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.
On July 14, International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo formally requested an arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes in the western Sudanese region of Darfur, which was strongly refuted by the Sudanese government.
Bashir, who arrived in Turkey on Monday to attend a Turkey-Africa economic cooperation summit held the meeting with Gul in an Ottoman-era palace by the Bosphorus strait.
Speaking at the meeting, Gul was quoted as saying that everybody felt sorrow over the human tragedies regardless of their race, language, and religion, and everybody should do his best to put an end to such pain.
Gul also said that Turkey would continue to offer health services in Sudan.
The two presidents also discussed economic relations, where Gulasked more opportunities to be provided to Turkish private sector in Sudan.
