State visit from Turkey: December 1-3, 2009

Dissapointing that this was a state visit and the royals were not seen enough except at 1 or 2 events. I wouldve have expected a royal accompanying the President & his wife to Petra and a royal at the departure of the president.
I think this was an official or working visit but not a state visit in any sense IMO.

Thank you for all the pictures and articles.

This is very usual in Jordan. They only accompany the visits when are a friends, or King and Queen.

In Turkish, we call ''başörtüsü''.
The Turkish letters ''ş'' is pronouncued ''sh''; ''ö'' is pronouncued ''oe'' and ''ü'' is pronouncued ''ue'' in English.

It's personal choice yes but, I prefer a first lady who wears modern.

And the headscarf is also called "türban".
