The Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will attend a one-day
visit to Tirana on May 14th, in order to intensify the relations between
Albania and Turkey, focusing mostly on the economic development.
This has been confirmed to Top Channel officially by the Turkish embassy in Tirana.
The cabinets of Rama and Erdogan are finalizing the details of this visit. Erdogan will also hold a speech in the Albanian Parliament.
This visit comes after the Albanian Prime Minister visited Istanbul twice, once in May 2013, and once in August 2013, when Rama declared that with Prime Minister Erdogan he continued a conversation they had already started for the cooperation between Albania and Turkey, which will have a never-seen-before intensity.
The Turkish Prime Minister will arrive in Tirana with his most important Ministers.
It is still unknown if there will be a joint meeting of both governments to progress with what the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, considered as a never-seen-before relation with Turkey.
Unconfirmed sources say that Rama will discuss the possibility of a soft loan from Turkey. After coming to power, Rama emphasized the importance of the relations with Italy, Greece and Turkey, as strategic partners of Albania.
