On February 28, 2022, GRF President Ambassador (R) Selim Yenel, German Marshall Fund (GMF) Brussels Office Executive Director and Vice President Ian Lesser and Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) Nathalie Tocci, addressed GRF and GRF Community members at an online meeting in collaboration with GMF and moderated by Journalist Barçın Yinanç. Examining the state of Turkey’s relationship to the West as it approaches the elections in 2023, the panelists discussed the potential evolution of this relationship post-election. Through the Turkish government’s recent diplomatic efforts and its role in supporting the Western powers during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the panelists stressed that these are important steps in turning a new leaf in the relationship. Following their speeches, the panelists answered Ms. Yinanç’s questions.
