Venue: Intercontinental Hotel, Asker Ocağı Cad. No:1 Taksim 34435, İstanbul, Turkey
Over the summer, the situation in the Ukraine and the wider Middle East region deteriorated further. We have decided to dedicate the whole Saturday afternoon to discussing these issues in two plenary sessions.
Time does not permit looking into all aspects, but we hope to discuss some major points, and will continue this discussion over the upcoming year. Please note that this programme is subject to changes, to reflect any new developments.
