As the U.S. is in the process of withdrawing from Syria, the U.S. and Turkey are in talks to coordinate their counter terrorism efforts, bring about stability, and address Turkish national security concerns in Syria. The U.S. withdrawal decision has generated an often politically charged policy debate about what happens afterward. As the regional players position themselves for the post-U.S. Syria, how can the U.S. and Turkey work together to strengthen their strategic coordination in Syria and the region as a whole? What are the implications for the future of the U.S.-Turkey defense partnership?
To discuss these issues, the SETA Foundation at Washington D.C. is pleased to host a timely conference on U.S.-Turkey relations.
