The NATO A band is the obsolete designation given to the radio frequencies from 0 to 250 MHz (equivalent to wavelengths from 1.2 m upwards) during the cold war period. Since 1992, frequency allocations, allotment and assignments are in line with the NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement. However, in order to identify military radio spectrum requirements, e.g. for crisis management planning, training, electronic warfare activities, or in military operations, this system is still in use.

# Cape Verde–Turkey relations

Relations became closer in 1977 when Turkey cooperated with the Lomé Convention and subsequently the Cotonou Agreement to send developmental aid to Cape Verde and funds to facilitate the restoration of landmarks in Praia. This was welcomed by Partido Africano da Independência de Cabo Verde, the political descendant Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, which championed a closer bilateral political and economic relationship.

## History

Founded by the Prince Constantino, son of the Constantinople Emperor. The Prince established his residence at the Solar of Queirós (or Quirós), in Astúrias. The prince helped Pope Stephen III (720-72) against Desiderius (710-86), king of the Lombards; Stephen's gratitude was so high that he proclaimed the famous words, "despues de Dios à Constantino" and, therefore, received favors in the bishopric of Oviedo. In 846, in the Iberian Peninsula, he was welcomed by King Dom Ramiro I of Asturias (790-850). Tradition states that on a certain occasion, fighting against the Moors, Dom Ramiro was surrounded by enemy soldiers, when Constantino would have shouted in Greek "Isqueiroz" to the king, which would mean "rise up strong knight". With Dom Ramiro unable to fight, Constantino dismounted from his horse, gave the horse to the king and killed the monarch's enemies. After the event, Dom Ramiro would have started to call him Constantino de Quíros. From that moment on the motto that Stephen had given him turned into the famous motto "Despues de Dios, la casa de Quíros".
Later, Prince Constantino married to Dona Gracinda Bernardo, daughter of Bernardo del Carpio and Madame Galinda, daughter of the Count of Alardos, member of the royal house of France. From the father's side, Gracinda was the granddaughter of Count Dom Sancho Díaz de Saldaña and Princess Dona Jimena, sister of the King Dom Alfonso II and granddaughter of King Dom Fruela I and his wife Queen Munia of Asturias. Constantino had a son, Pedro Bernardo de Queirós, who continued the surname in Asturias, Castile and later in Portugal. His descendant Guterre Gonçalves de Queirós, seventh lord of the house and manor of Queirós, was second lieutenant of Dom João I (1357-1433), king of Portugal, with whom he was in the battle of Aljubarrota, in 1385, carrying the royal flag – the occasion when he had his arms cut off by the enemy, keeping the Portuguese standard between his teeth until his death. Fernando Álvares de Queirós, who would be Guterre's blood brother, was an Asturian nobleman who came to Portugal around 1378, during the reign of Dom Fernando I (1345–83).
