Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, will represent him at the Board of Peace ceremony in Davos tomorrow.
Erdogan has not yet said he has agreed to serve on the US-backed panel, but the statement to reporters seems to confirm his participation.
Erdogan has not returned to Davos since 2009, when he shared a stage with then-president Shimon Peres. There, Erdogan accused Israel of killing civilians before saying he would not come back to the World Economic Forum and storming off the stage.
