NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) celebrated its 60th anniversary with the summit. On the summit agenda was choosing a new leader, and discussing the alliance’s commitment to Afghanistan.
Danish Politician Named Secretary-General
Keeping with the tradition of a European Secretary General, Anders-Fogh Rasmussen was chosen to fill the role. The announcement followed strong objections from Turkey who argued he backed a television network sympathetic to the Kurdistan Workers Party. Turkish representatives raised a second objection over Rasmussen’s decision to allow the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed to be published.
According to press reports, some of Rasmussen’s deputies will be Turkish. In remarks published by the Irish Times, Rasmussen promised to improve ties with Turkey: “I will reach out to the Muslim World and I will make sure NATO will cooperate with Turkey.”
