New Challenges and a New Paradigm in Turkey's Foreign Policy

GPoT Center, in collaboration with Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (FNS), in Turkey organized a roundtable discussion with the participation of GPoT Center's High Advisory Board Members, including former ambassadors and state officials.

The event, entitled “New Challenges and New Paradigm in Turkey’s Foreign Policy: Axis Shift In The Middle East“, took place on Büyükada, Istanbul, between the 15th and 17th of November, with a one-day roundtable discussion organized on Saturday 16th, followed by a concluding session on Sunday 17th.

The roundtable meeting's first session focused on discussing Turkey’s current stance in the Middle East, policies on the Syrian unrest, and the conflict’s possible impact on Turkey and neighboring countries, and Turkey’s role in the region for peace and prosperity. During the second session, the participants spoke on their own views of these topics.

Ending the discussion, GPoT Staff and High Advisory Board Members drafted an exclusive report featuring policy recommendations on the topics discussed throughout the meeting.
