Erdogan, Sisi and the fate of Egyptian-Turkish relations

In a recent policy paper, titled “A Mediterranean Duel: Erdogan, Sisi and the Fate of Egyptian-Turkish Relations”, expert Nicholas Danforth lays out Turkey and Egypt’s history, explores the causes of tensions between Cairo and Ankara today, and makes the case that despite Turkey’s attempts to mend relations, this effort is unlikely to overcome disagreements between the two countries. We also look at Erdogan’s new pick to serve as ambassador in Washington, and whether he is taking on a mission impossible.

Nicholas Danforth is a Non-Resident Senior Research Fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy, ELIAMEP, and author of the forthcoming book The Remaking of Republican Turkey.

What's at stake for Syria's minorities in the wake of Assad's fall?

While the collapse of the Assad regime was celebrated across Syria, the uncertainty about what comes next has many holding their breath. This is especially true for the country’s minorities, particularly its dwindling Christian community.
