While announcing that the current chairperson of the American-Turkish Council (ATC), Brent Scowcroft, will be succeeded by Ambassador Richard L. Armitage, the ATC also said the outgoing and incoming heads of the association will visit Turkey together next month. The ATC is a business association dedicated to enhancing the promotion of US-Turkish commercial, defense, technology and cultural relations.

Armitage, currently the president of Armitage International, will begin his service as chairperson as of Jan. 1, 2010, the ATC said.

“Corporate members of ATC, both American and Turkish, welcome Ambassador Armitage and look forward to working with him to strengthen the business, defense, trade and investment, foreign policy and cultural relations between the United States and Turkey, two proven allies and friends.

General Scowcroft and Ambassador Armitage will travel to Turkey Nov. 16-20 for senior-level discussions with Turkey's government, military and business leadership. This timely visit will assure the smoothest possible transition for ATC,” the association has announced on its Web page.

Armitage had served as deputy secretary of state between 2001 and 2005. His Armitage International serves clients that focus on international business development in industries such as aerospace, communications, consumer products, construction, defense, finance and financial services, high-technology electronics, information technology and transportation.  The ATC, meanwhile, praised Scowcroft for his “personal commitment to a strong US-Turkey relationship,” adding that he will continue to be an active member of the ATC board.
