   Speaking at a joint press conference with her Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul, Rice said she was aware of Ankara's decisiveness to eradicate terrorism in its region.

   Rice pledged help to Turkey in this field since "Turkey and the United States share common interests and close relations."

   For his part, Gul said Turkey and the United States are working together for global peace and stability.

   "We are in constant exchange of ideas on economic developments and fight against terror," he said.

   Cyprus, Iraq and the Palestinian-Israeli conflicts also topped their meeting agenda, Gul added.

   Rice would head to Israel and the West Bank for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders later on Sunday.

   Turkey is the fourth leg of Rice's week-long Europe and Mideast tour. She has visited Britain, Germany and Poland in her first overseas trip as US secretary of state. Enditem
