Monday 17th April, 2006 (UPI)
The United States was reported Monday to be considering the establishment of three naval bases in Turkey.
A Turkish newspaper, Cumhuriyet, listed three possible sites: the port of Iskenderun on the Mediterranean coast, Urla in the Aegean Sea and Mordogan on the Aegean coast.
The United States has been searching for appropriate locations for the last eight months, the paper said, and had been considering the use of current Turkish ports or establishing new ones.
Initially, the report said, Washington wanted one of the three bases to be located on Turkey's Black Sea coast.
