IKV Secretary General Assoc. Prof. Çiğdem Nas participated in the “Turkish Opinion Formers” information programme organised by the NATO Public Diplomacy Division and the International Relations Council on 26 May 2025. During the programme, presentations and information exchanges were held on NATO’s changing strategies, hybrid threats, Türkiye’s position, and transatlantic relations. It was emphasised that Türkiye, as a NATO member, is gaining increasing importance in the context of Europe’s changing security parameters and that joint steps must be taken both within NATO and in cooperation with the EU to develop a more advanced military capacity and defence sector.
