The day after the Atlantic Council Regional Conference on Clean & Secure Energy

We had a fantastic discussion yesterday at the Atlantic Council Regional Conference on Clean & Secure Energy on Geopolitical Developments: The War in Ukraine and the Conflict in the Middle East.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible panelists Yevgeniya Gaber Valeria Talbot Rich Outzen William F. Wechsler and Ariel Cohen, Ph.D. for their insights. We covered a wide range of topics, including the potential impact of US elections on both conflicts, the West’s commitment to Ukraine, Türkiye-Ukraine relations, Black Sea security, Russian vulnerabilities, Persian Gulf energy security, US presidential candidates' Middle East policies, the EU’s perception of Turkish foreign policy, the war expected repercussions in the Middle East and Israel's relations with regional countries.

It was wonderful to connect with friends and colleagues from our D.C. office. A special shoutout to Defne Sadiklar Arslan and the amazing team, Grady Wilson Iveta Kruma—@Alp?zen and Zeynep Egeli for organizing such a terrific event!

Always a pleasure to be back to beautiful The Grand Tarabya Huge thanks to Yesim Acar
