post-coup-attempt Turkey, regional & international implications
Turkey, a country with almost 80 million people, has become in recent years a significant player on the international arena, after years of diminished influence.
The country, which joined NATO in the early 1950' became a barrier in the war against Islamic Extremism, playing key roles in ongoing efforts to tackle the dangerous phenomenon. Several spats, however, highlighted rising tensions between Turkey, the United States and the European Union, in the wake of a failed coup attempt on the 15th of July, followed by a prolonged crackdown by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan against his opposition that angered both Europe and the United States.
During today's program we will examine the implications of the new reality at hand, on both a regional as well as a global spectrum;
Guests Mr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, Researcher, the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University; and Prof. Efraim Inbar, Director of BESA at Bar Ilan University. Analyst Mr. Amir Oren.
