TURKEY US CHENEY

Turkish soldiers, members of an honour guard, arrive to take their positions before U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney arrives at the mausoleum of Turkey's founder Kemal Ataturk, in the background, to lay a wreath in respects in Ankara, Wednesday, March 20, 2002. Cheney ended an 11 nation Mideast tour by promising Turkey financial aid for peacekeeping in Afghanistan, but he failed to win the key NATO ally's support for a tougher policy against neighbor Iraq.
