    TURKEY, U.S. SIGN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENT

    The Governments of the United States and the Republic of Turkey signed
    a Science and Technology Agreement at the U.S. Department of State in
    Washington D.C. Assistant Secretary Kerri-Ann Jones of the Bureau of
    Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs signed on
    behalf of the United States while Deputy Under Secretary for Bilateral
    Affairs and Public Diplomacy Selim Yenel signed on behalf of Turkey.

    This new Agreement, which replaces an earlier 1994 text, marks an
    important milestone in the rich history of U.S.-Turkish scientific
    cooperation.

    As President Obama stated during his visit to Turkey in April 2009,
    "...Turkey and the United States must stand together - and work
    together - to overcome the challenges of our time."

    The Agreement will further this goal by providing the legal framework
    for increased agency-to-agency collaboration across a broad range of
    scientific disciplines.

    This Agreement will deepen and diversify relations between the two
    countries by facilitating the undertaking of joint cooperative research
    projects; exchanges for scientists, specialists and researchers;
    the establishment of science-based public-private partnerships;
    as well as the sharing of facilities, equipment and materials for
    scientific collaboration between the United States and Turkey. Areas
    of potential bilateral scientific cooperation include research on
    earthquake early warning and preparedness, environmental science,
    climate change, renewable energy, health, archeology, material science
    and chemistry, the State Department said.
