Event Description
This webinar is a follow-up to the previous event “De-escalation in the Middle East: A strategic pause or the new reality”, and focuses on the so-called reconciliation between Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Turkey. This event will serve as a forum for a fruitful discussion about Turkey’s access to the GCC in light of the current normalization and mild de-escalation in the extended Middle East. Apart from the rapprochement between Turkey and these two monarchies, what can we expect from the other GCC monarchies, notably Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain, in regard to their relations with Turkey? With this in mind, the webinar will examine how to approach Turkey’s relations with the GCC in the current normalization era: can it help to realign regional priorities?
