ANKARA, Turkey

Turkey's Foreign Minister says his country deserves a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council because of Ankara's growing influence on international affairs.

Ali Babacan was speaking Sunday before departing for New York for a final round of lobbying for the seat which comes to a vote on Oct. 17.

The UN General Assembly will elect five nations to serve two-year stints on the council. Turkey is racing against Austria and Iceland for two Western European seats.

Turkey has been lobbying for the seat since 2004. "
