LIBG forum on Turkey

A key country between Europe and Asia, Turkey has been ruled by Recep Tayyip Erdogan for more than 20 years. 

Domestically, despite the 2022 agreement with the PKK, the situation remains complex with the Kurds and, more generally, with ethnic and religious minorities, and the rule of law is increasingly under threat, as judges and journalists observe on a daily basis. 
In its traditional sphere of influence in the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East, Turkey is developing a suspicious imperialism, the latest developments of which in Syria are more than worrying.
Finally, as NATO's second largest army after the United States, Turkey wishes to develop an ambitious diplomatic role on the world stage, which often requires it to overcome numerous contradictions.
On 9 February at 6.30 pm, LIBG will host a webinar on this country, which is essential not only for international security and for the respect of human rights but also for its ability to truly embody a bridge between East and West.

The panellists will be:

Baroness Meral Hussein-Ece, member of the Lords
Bülent Kenes, Turkish journalist, Executive Director of the European Centre for Populism Studies
Sir Graham Watson, Chair of LIBG, professor at Toronto University

The debate will be moderated by Antoine Godbert, member of the LIBG executive, and  professor of geopolitics at ESCP Business School.
