Atlantic Council IN TURKEY Program

The Atlantic Council Turkey Programs and AC in Turkey aims to support transatlantic relations by strengthening dialogue between the United States and regional NATO allies, primarily Turkey. In line with the Atlantic Council’s mission of promoting constructive U.S. leadership and engagement in international affairs in facing global challenges, AC Turkey works to bolster transatlantic engagement with Turkey and its surrounding region through forward-looking research and high-impact, high-level convenings covering energy, economics, business, technology, defense, and security.

Turkey, located at the crossroads of the economic and energy routes that stretch from Europe through the Black and Caspian Seas to the Middle East and Central Asia, and through the Mediterranean Sea to North Africa, resides at the intersection of some of our globe’s most complex geopolitical and geo-economic issues.

The Atlantic Council in Turkey program meets our enduring mission of working together with allies and partners to secure the future by facilitating productive dialogue and connections among government, business, and NGO stakeholders. In cooperation with the Atlantic Council’s 15 other programs and centers, the Atlantic Council in Turkey strives to support strong ties between the transatlantic community and Turkey towards a more stable and prosperous future for the region.

A more coordinated global coronavirus response is needed, Turkish foreign minister argues

By David A. Wemer

Çavuşoğlu cautioned that it is very possible that the pandemic ushers in a “world that is less open, less prosperous, and less free,” but he hoped that effective global leadership would allow the international community to grow stronger. The need for solidarity might even “force us into more multilateralism,” as governments pursue common solutions to the crisis. While many leaders continue to be singularly focused on the situations within their own borders, “we can only eradicate this threat through collective effort,” Çavuşoğlu said. “We must work together.”
