Obama's stop in Turkey, announced last week in Ankara by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, partly fulfills Obama's pledge to engage the Muslim world in a substantive way within his first 100 days in office. But the president is not expected to use the Turkey visit to deliver his anticipated address on Islam, a speech he promised during his campaign to give in a Muslim capital soon after taking office.

I would have loved to join president Obama as part of press who will accompany him in this trip of his historic presidency. As a proud Turkish-American, and founder and CEO of one of the most powerful technology media companies in North America, this would have been a life time honor I would never forget.
