Istanbul Hilton

PRESIDENT BUSH: all right. It has been my honor to welcome these very important leaders of different faiths to this dialogue. They represent the very best of Turkey which is a country that is secular in politics, and strong in its faith. And we've had a wonderful discussion. I'm so honored that these leaders would take time and share their thoughts with me. And I welcome them, and I thank them for being so faithful to the Almighty God.

Thank you for coming.
