The US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) was invited to attend a conference by the Turkish Development and Justice Party (AK Party). The USCMO delegation also attended elections of new chairman and was able to witness Turkish democracy at work. The conference, considered to be an extraordinary event by members of the AK Party, was held in honor of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, its founder and chairman, to bid him a special farewell after being elected President of Turkey. Mr. Ahmet Davutoğlu was elected the new chairman of the AK Party. Witnessing this fascinating democratic process was as uplifting and inspiring as feeling the shared sentiment among party members. The US Council of Muslim Organizations was represented by Oussama Jammal, Secretary General; Naeem Baig, ICNA president, and Osama Abu-Irshaid, AMP National Director.
