This article examines cooperation between the Dutch & the Turkish armed forces during two peacekeeping missions, respectively in Kosovo (KFOR, 1999-2000) & Kabul (ISAF, 2002-2003). It is based on a literature survey & interviews with officers & NCOs of both sides. The article deals with the collaboration between the two armed forces as well as the interaction with the local populations in both areas of operation. Differences in style & modes of operation are analysed, leading to some thoughts for reflection with respect to intercultural military cooperation & peacekeeping in Muslim countries. It is argued that commanders at all levels should be prepared for the intercultural dimension of working with military from other nations, especially if they are deployed in areas that are culturally distant from their own. In addition, it is stressed that the scope of CIMIC-activities may be expanded. Adapted from the source document.
