A discussion on Turkey: From Coup Attempt to Referendum – Identity Groups Revisited
The European Neighbourhood Council (ENC) organised, in collaboration with Public Policy and Democracy Studies (PODEM), a roundtable discussion on Turkey – from coup attempt to referendum, focusing on different identity and minority groups. The leading Turkish think tank deals with issues related to Kurds, judiciary controls, security, refugees and Syria, among other topics. In the light of a recent research report released by PODEM, the event helped brief EU policy-makers and parliamentarians about the current political and social situation after the coup attempt last year, as well as providing data and surveyed perceptions about how different identity groups in Turkey view the coup attempt and the upcoming referendum.
