U.S. offers Turkey help with nuclear reactors
http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/06/front2453780.1958333333.html

The United States has offered to help build Turkey's first nuclear power plant.

Turkish and U.S. officials have discussed Ankara's plans to build up to eight nuclear reactors for energy production. They said the Bush administration has offered to help Ankara implement the project.

Over the last year, Turkey and the United States have claimed success in restoring military relations which have been strained by the election of an Islamist-leaning government in Ankara which resisted U.S. efforts to use Turkish bases to mount its offensive on Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Now, the Bush administration has renewed efforts to use Turkey as a base for reconnaissance operations against Iran, Middle East Newsline reported.
