TASAM 2004-2021 Activity Report is published with an annual review by Turkish Asian Center for Strategic Studies, which has become an international “Turkish Brand“.

The Report highlights that each initiative is driven by a strong will for “institutionalization“ and underpinned by a variety of instruments, in its PROFILE section, which includes the titles of a large number of distinctive scholars, experts and researchers who greatly contribute to TASAM’s activities through its main office and institutes, and programs and projects guided by scientific committees.

Vice-chairmanship and directorship tasks of TASAM, chaired by Süleyman ŞENSOY since its establishment, are undertaken by Assoc. Prof. Brig. Gen. (R) Fahri ERENEL and Assoc. Dr. Engin SELÇUK respectively. The distinctive persons who serve on the board of advisors are as follows: Ambassador (R) Prof. Dr. Ali Engin OBA, Ambassador (R) Selim KARAOSMANOĞLU, Prof. Dr. Fuat İNCE, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Sedat AYBAR, Prof. Dr. Hayati TÜFEKÇİOĞLU, Prof. Dr. Mert BİLGİN, Prof. Dr. Rahmi KARAKUŞ, Assoc.

Global, regional and “identity field“ activities under eleven different topics

The Report states that TASAM, which is a legal entity under the NGO category, and initiated its activities as a “think tank“ 19 years ago, operates under 11 different topics as part of its foreign policy framework. This framework deals with continental topics including Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America; regional topics including the Balkans, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea-Caucasus, which represent a “security belt“ for Turkey in all its national security aspects; and the identity fields including the Turkic World and the Islamic World.

Three separate award concepts institutionalized within the frame of public diplomacy

Strategic Vision Awards, Turkic World Red-Apple Awards, and Islamic World Istanbul Awards of which the 13th edition of the first, and the 4th editions of the other two will be offered by TASAM are becoming institutionalized as getting stronger year by year by. According to their categories, reputability of the awards given to countless heads of state, strategic institutions and individuals is appreciated at all levels.
