On 6th of March 2017, PODEM organized a roundtable discussion in collaboration with The European Neighbourhood Council (ENC) at the European Parliament in Brussels within the frame of its “Social Peace in Turkey” project.

During this roundtable discussion on Turkey, PODEM shared the findings of the lately conducted field research. Among the participants, there were parliamentarians from different countries, representatives of civil society organizations, researchers and academics.

The project aims to analyze how these developments are perceived and what are their impacts on current social and political demands and expectations.
