7th Türkiye - Gulf Defence and Security Forum

  • “New Discoveries in the Turkish - Arab Security Ecosystem”
The developments witnessed by history over the last decade, which have had the impact that almost equates to those may only felt in a duration of up to a century, represent a milestone for the change in standards for production, consumption, growth and conventional power, as well as security and Defence. Policy scenarios and some exercises for fresh insights into the national/international "immune system" and strategic shift have become a priority issue on the agenda. So, studies/researches and collaborative works together with the Gulf Countries for the "Security/Defence/Space Ecosystem and Strategic Transformation of the Future" represent a priority for an essential balance.
