The Anatolia Times-Turkey & U.S.A. Have Common Interests Regarding Iran, Grossman

"Turkey & U.S.A. Have Common Interests Regarding Iran, Grossman
ANKARA - Preventing Iran's nuclear targets is the common interest of Turkey and the United States, former U.S. ambassador to Turkey said on Friday.

Making a keynote speech on ''Turkish-U.S. relations in the perspective of Turkey's EU membership'' in Turkish capital of Ankara, Grossman said that some circles believed that Iran issue could be ''a new test for Turkish-U.S. relations.''

The more strategically this matter is handled, the more possible it will be to pass this test, noted Grossman.

According to Grossman, Turkey is one of the leading countries which can convince Iran that owning nuclear weapons is not a good strategic decision."
