GRF Middle East and North Africa
Task Force Report Launch
June 20, 2019

 

The Global Relations Forum’s (GRF) independent Task Force on “Middle East and North Africa” completed its work and presented its Task Force Report to GRF members at the launch meeting on June 20, 2019.

During the meeting, the Task Force Co-Chairs Minister of Foreign Affairs (F) and Speaker of TBMM (F) Hikmet Çetin, Ambassador (F) Yaşar Yakış and Ambassador (F) Sönmez Köksal each shared with the participants their views on the region’s dynamics and their assessments concerning the Task Force Report.

The Task Force Report analyzes the region-wide underpinnings of instability, as well as the county-specific dynamics affecting regional stability. The report then makes assessments on the policy options that might contain the destructive effects of these factors, and increase the constructive interactions between them to achieve stability and development in the region.
