Relations between Turkey and the EU have experienced ups and downs over the last years, but despite problems the two remain intertwined and cooperative. From the refugee crisis and subsequent deal, to criticisms from the EU parliament, or the decades long accession talks, their relations are complex and dynamic.
Dr Senem Aydin-Duzgit, an expert on Turkey-EU relations, will lead a discussion on relations between Turkey and the EU at an open forum organised by CEFTUS on 8 March 2017.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
