On 6 April 2021, IKV Secretary General Assoc. Prof. Çiğdem Nas participated in the "Gün Ötesi" programme prepared by TRT Istanbul Radio and broadcast on Radio 1. Assoc. IKV Secretary General Nas evaluated the importance of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel’s visit to Ankara for Turkey-EU relations. Indicating that high level dialogue and Association Council meetings have been suspended since 2019, Assoc. Prof. Nas highlighted the importance of the visit which will take place at the highest level. Stating that the offer of a positive agenda first proposed by the European Council in October 2020 was still on the table, Nas said that despite falling short of meeting Turkey’s expectation for full EU membership, the positive agenda could pave the way for a relative revitalisation of the relations.
