Last Friday, @AtlanticCouncil Turkey Program Senior Director @DefneSadiklar spoke at a panel hosted by @eni looking ahead at COP31 next month in Antalya
What does a successful COP look like? @DefneSadiklar highlighted that developing economies need financing, technology, and practical support to translate commitments into projects.

#EU’s orientation(not decided yet)to exclude from #madeineurope cars & other goods produced in #Türkiye is economically and politically wrong.These products result from EU investments which took advantage from TR ecosystem.1/2
We are proud to be back to Istanbul with @AtlanticCouncil energy and Infrastructure summit which will bring together leaders not only from the region but also from Central Asia, US, and EU! Mark your calendars from today.

The future for Europeans is a broad alliance with like-minded partners globally. Cutting those partners -- such as Japan, South Korea, Britain, Turkey, Canada -- off is massively undermining the strength of this emerging alliance. Macron's "buy European" is a strategic mistake.
The EU should not isolate itself with the Industrial Accelerator Act, says Bayer's Holger Weintritt.
“Let's make sure that we still remain globally connected and look for reliable partnerships instead of isolating ourselves and put fences up.”

"Epic Fury and the Turks" — no, it's not about road rage in Ankara during rush hour.
It's an excellent read by @RichOutzen on how Türkiye is managing its regional affairs and relations with the U.S. during uncertain times.

On September 11, 2001, the US suffered the deadliest terrorist attack in its history.
A quarter century after, Atlantic Council experts reflect on the state of terrorism today and the outcomes of the war on terror.

"Western partners including the EU, the U.K., Japan and South Korea would benefit from joining, expanding, and strengthening it. The route and the wider Middle Corridor directly serve their security interests by ensuring that Russia, China and Iran do not assert control over the heart of the Eurasian continent, a reality that America must impress upon our allies."

Earlier this week, in partnership with @ACMideast, we hosted a discussion on the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement and future of regional security.
A key question to underlined by @defnesadiklar, Senior Director of @AC_TRprogram in her opening was “how will the bold commitment to collective defense translate into coordinated action, and how strong will the actual deterrence be?”

On how the US views the Mecca pact:
“From a policy perspective, I don’t think we’re excited about this, even though we are saying that we are, because it does go against the expansion of the Abraham Accords,” @ACScowcroft’s Bilal Y. Saab tells @MichaelKugelman.
