Turkey is an important transatlantic partner, which has been going through a transformation for the last decade. The foreign policy dimensions of this transformation and implications for the transatlantic community in particular are widely debated by opinion leaders on both sides of the Atlantic. With the advantage of having an office in Ankara, GMF plays a significant role in this debate. Within this framework, GMF's Turkey program aims is strengthening Turkey’s ties with the transatlantic community and creating a forum where Americans, Europeans, and Turks can learn from one another and address shared challenges.
