‘US consults Turkey on most international issues’

Ayten Çiftçi

The US special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), calling Turkey one of the US's closest allies, told Today's Zaman in an exclusive interview on Monday, “There are very few major international issues on which we do not consult Turkey on a regular basis.”

Rashad Hussain, a Muslim of Indian heritage, has served in the White House Counsel's Office and has advised President Barack Obama's administration on policy matters related to the Muslim world in his capacity as an envoy to the OIC.
