Snipers and police security teams took up positions around Ankara airport, Turkey, as Pope Benedict XVI arrived for his first visit to a Muslim country. Authorities said security measures for the pope -- who angered Muslims worldwide with comments in September on Islam and violence -- would be tighter than they were for the visit of President Bush. As the pope arrived, dozens of Turks demonstrated outside the religious affairs ministry, at least 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the airport, The Associated Press reported. Some 25,000 Turks had gathered in Istanbul on Sunday for a protest against the pope, denouncing his visit to Turkey and saying he was not welcome. Benedict arrived at the airport at 1:00 p.m. local time to be greeted by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan welcomed the pope, who wore traditional white robes, at the foot of the plane. The two men shook hands and walked on a red carpet to the heavily guarded airport terminal for a private discussion. "I want to express happiness to see you and your delegation in our country," Erdogan told the pope. He described the pope's visit as "very meaningful." The Turkish PM had waited until the day before Benedict's arrival to announce that he would make time to meet the pope before leaving for a NATO summit in Latvia. On Tuesday shortly before leaving for the airport, Erdogan said he hoped Turks would be courteous and "show hospitality" to the pontiff.

He could not expect to get results in just four days, the pope said, but his visit was a symbolic one. News reports say some 3,000 police officers have been assigned to guard the pope. Snipers will watch from hillsides and tall buildings, and armored vehicles and riot police will be stationed near the areas he is scheduled to visit.

Police also were mobilizing and staking out spots in Istanbul, where Benedict will spend most of his four day stay. "We have taken all the necessary measures and observations of the route the pope (will travel) and the places the pope will visit," Istanbul police spokesman Ismail Caliskan told AP. Patriarch meeting After spending Tuesday night in Ankara, Benedict will visit Ephesus and Istanbul, where he will meet with Bartholomew I, the Istanbul-based leader of the world's 300 million Orthodox Christians. The visit by the leader of 1.1 billion Roman Catholics was originally intended to be a pre-eminently Christian event but it has taken on wider political ramifications in Western-Islamic relations, Catholic-Muslim relations and Turkey's own aspirations to be part of Europe. The visit to Turkey is seen as a test as to whether the pope can ease Christian-Muslim tensions that simmered after he quoted a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of Islam's prophet Mohammed as "evil and inhuman." The pontiff's presence will also be a test of the Turkish public's willingness to tolerate criticism of Islam. On Monday a group of around 100 pro-Islamic demonstrators displayed what they said were a million signatures for a petition demanding that the Haghia Sophia, now a museum in Istanbul, be declared a mosque and opened to worship for Muslims. The Haghia Sophia was built in the 6th century as a Christian church, but was converted to a mosque in 1453 when Islamic armies conquered the city -- then a Christian metropolis called Constantinople. In a speech on Sunday, Benedict said he was coming to Turkey as a friend of the Turks and asked his followers to pray for him. A brief statement from President Ahmet Necdet Sezer's office characterized planned talks with the pontiff as "opportunities for developing mutual understanding and cooperation," on bilateral relations between Turkey and the Vatican.
