17 December 2015: Turkey’s challenges in a region in crisis by Ecfr on Mixcloud
How can Ankara and Moscow break out of the impasse over the downing of the SU24 and Russia’s accusation that Turkey is supporting terrorism? How is Ankara managing the transnational aspect of the Kurdish issue? Is the recent migration deal with the EU workable and what will happen with Turkey’s membership application now?
