The Turkish official, Namik Tan, said Turkey, as Iran's neighbor, is perhaps more determined than other more distant countries to keep Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon, and he suggested that Turkish-Iranian relations are deteriorating over the nuclear issue.

"Some other countries have tried to transfer certain goods which would help Iran's nuclear program, and we have stopped them," Ambassador Tan said at a Monitor breakfast gathering of reporters.
