Which one among the following statements about NATO is not correct?
General KnowledgeCurrent Affairs
- ANATO is a collective defence organization in Europe
- BThe US is an ex officio member of NATO
- CTurkey is a member of NATO
- DNATO has 28 independent member States
Explanation
'Ex officio' (by virtue of office) misdescribes US membership - the US is a founding treaty signatory, not an ex officio member. Turkey is a member (since 1952) and NATO had 28 members in 2012. The iasexamportal key's C is an error.
