In a February 11 news conference, the U.S. Department of State said
that they valued Turkey’s role in trying to help resolve regional
issues including Iran.

According to the official U.S. Department of State website, when
Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Philip Crowley was asked about
Turkey’s efforts in playing a role with Iran on the nuclear issue, he
said:

`Well, I think we value the role that Turkey plays as a bridge between
the West and the region. It is obviously a country – Iran is a
neighbor to Turkey, so it has to develop its own relationship. And we
will – we are – we have ongoing dialogue with Turkey regarding issues
with respect to Iran, also with respect to Syria and efforts more
broadly towards peace in the region.’
