My inaugural piece for @turkiyetodaycom:

“Türkiye’s role in the remaking of Gulf security”

As regional deterrence frameworks shift, Ankara is increasingly positioned as a credible security anchor.

[S. Süha Çubukçuoğlu @suhac]

"The Montreux Convention of 1936, which has governed the Turkish Straits through nearly a century of geopolitical turbulence, provides the most instructive precedent for reform [of the Hormuz Regime]. Its durability rests not on the suppression of Turkish sovereign interests, but on their structured accommodation. Turkey retains meaningful regulatory authority while accepting enforceable international obligations on passage rights. The convention's longevity demonstrates that riparian state interests and international passage rights are not irreconcilable – they require only the political will and diplomatic architecture to balance them".

[Murat Yeşiltaş @muratyesiltas]

My recent piece for @AtlanticCouncil argues that the US-Turkey relationship can move forward not only through managing crises, but also through building cooperation in areas that help prevent them. A more sustainable framework is possible

All the hawkish rhetoric on both sides is largely for domestic audiences. If the threat were truly existential, intelligence cooperation wouldn’t continue and Turkey wouldn’t still allow Azeri oil to flow. Even in Syria where a clash is supposedly most likely, there’s a quiet understanding on spheres of influence in which Turkey controls the north, Israel the south.

Great to hear Massad Boulos (@US_SrAdvisorAF) and fellow speakers at @ForeignPolicy’s event on the sidelines of @MunSecConf. Insightful discussion on #Sudan and the wider regional dynamics shaping current developments.

Had in-depth exchange with President @RTErdogan in Istanbul. Discussed the Armenia–Türkiye normalization process, regional developments, and the importance of sustained dialogue.

Armenia remains committed to building peace and stability in our region.

My latest @RStatecraft article is about relations between #Iran and #Syria's relatively new government nearly six months after #Assad's fall. This piece quotes @marinacalculli, @J_Heirannia, and @BatuCoskunn. https://t.co/O8lABC7kGb

[Ambassador Tom Barrack @USAMBTurkiye]

An incredibly valued and critical tessera of the Syrian mosaic is Jordan, led by a benevolent king and a wise and brilliant foreign minister.

I saw two Starbucks, a Dunkin Donuts and a Krispy Kreme in a two-block radius in Riyadh. Way more Americanized than Israel!
