North Korea and Turkey will announce Wednesday that they will establish diplomatic ties, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported Sunday quoting South Korean government authorities. 

In a related development, Los Angeles Times said Sunday that a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman complained that Washington was "unilaterally" trying to set the agenda.
