“Turkey: What next?
An assessment in view of the upcoming general elections on June 7, 2015″
Με επιτυχία και μεγάλη προσέλευση κόσμου πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Συνεδριακό Κέντρο της Τράπεζας Πειραιώς η ημερίδα που διοργανώθηκε από το Δίκτυο Ναυαρίνο και το Πανεπιστήμιο Kadir Has της Κωνσταντινούπολης. Το συμπέρασμα της ημερίδας ήταν ότι η δημοκρατία στην Τουρκία βρίσκεται σε κρίση λόγω του αυταρχισμού του Ταγίπ Ερντογάν. Σύμφωνα με τους ομιλητές, το κλειδί για το εκλογικό αποτέλεσμα της 7ης Ιουνίου θα είναι η εκλογική επίδοση του Κουρδικού κόμματος αφού αν καταφέρει να μπει στη βουλή θα κόψει έδρες από το AKP. Τέλος, υποστήριξαν πως η νέα τουρκική κυβέρνηση θα πρέπει να επανεκκινήσει την τουρκική εξωτερική πολιτική καθώς η Τουρκία δεν έχει σήμερα πρεσβευτές σε μια σειρά από χώρες όπως η Συρία, το Ιράκ, το Ισραήλ, η Αίγυπτος, η Αρμενία και, βέβαια, η Κύπρος.
