Turkey (GOT) representatives.  The database will assist GOT 
officials to process export licenses and investigate suspect 
companies/individuals.  Department of Commerce contractors 
completed training of Internal Control Program (ICP) 
instructors; these instructors will serve as key contacts 
during the upcoming deployment of ICP software to Turkish 
businesses.  Continued coordination to prepare the Turkish

Security Academy.  According to Demirduzen this training,
