ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey signaled on Monday that it may be ready to take urgent steps to assist its NATO ally the United States in any war on neighboring Iraq.
Turkey's prime minister, president and military chief met for talks that the defense minister said might satisfy urgent U.S. demands to use Turkish airspace and ground bases. "Turkey has decided to take urgent steps to preserve its national interests," presidential spokesman Tacan Ildem told reporters after the meeting.

He gave no details but the steps would be in accordance with recommendations of the influential National Security Council, a partly military body which in late January urged the government to take military measures to safeguard Turkey's interests.
