25.09.2023 : CJMM and CÉRIUM Conference – Dorothée Schmid

As the gateway between Europe and Asia, Turkey occupies a very important place in the international geopolitical context. Our speaker, Dorothée Schmid, will take stock of the international issues affecting this country. Looking both to the past and the present, she will analyse President Erdogan’s foreign policy, as well as Ankara’s memory issues, in relation to its links with the Ottoman Empire, but also through its darker past, such as the Armenian genocide.
