The panel discussion will be related to Turkey’s foreign policy agenda prior to and during the new year.

These are: the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide; the Kurdish Question and its ramifications in the region (Turkey-Syria, Turkey-Iraq relations); and Turkey-Cyprus relations, which are also related to Turkey-Israel policy and Ankara’s energy interests in the eastern Mediterranean.
