For the past few years, the Turkish diplomacy has been extremely active in the region and has gained significant influence and respect. The Arab uprising has offered a unique opportunity for Turkey to strengthen its position in the region, but it has also brought about important challenges. This seminar will look into the "Turkish model" and whether it might be relevant for the region. The speakers will also discuss the expectations of the EU and the U.S. vis-à-vis the Turkish diplomacy in the Arab world, and question the future of cooperations in the region.

Paris Naval Conference 2025: Naval Power and the Challenges of Securing Maritime Autonomy

As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
