Turkey Today-New York
September 24, 2018

With a failed coup in 2016, a Syrian refugee crisis, new presidential system, and worsening relations with the U.S., we ask how Turkey has changed and where it is today? It’s geopolitical location brings great responsibility and expectations in a changing world. Does the world know what it expects from Turkey and does it understand what Turkey is offering?
Please join THO, SETA, and Sabah Columnists Club on Monday, September 24, as we host a distinguished panel of some of the most influential minds shaping Turkey.
THO Teleconference Syria's Idlib: Challenges and Expectations 
September 17, 2018
The U.N. has warned that a military assault on Syria’s Idlib could potentially cause a humanitarian crisis, sending 800,000 people to displacement. In recent days Turkey has been appealing for a cease fire that would stall the offensive, however unsuccessfully. What does this mean for Idlib? As Syrian government troops, backed by Russia and Iran continue to advance toward the last rebel stronghold in the country, the world braces for what a top U.N. official has warned could be this century’s “worst loss of life”.
 
THO will host a timely teleconference with  Mouaz Moustafa  and  Yaha Al Aridi  on the situation and what comes next for Idlib.
