This is the Daily Star newspaper of Lebanon. This is from today's editorial: "Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel-Aziz's visit to Ankara for talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan is nothing short of historic - both because it is the first visit by a ruling Saudi monarch in 40 years, and because it comes at a time when the region is awash in turmoil. The crises in Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon will no doubt be a major focus in the meetings between the two leaders."
