Turkey has a history of 200 years of democratization. However, since democracy, by its nature, is a process rather than a conclusion, its goals are never to be done away with. This process includes obstacles, fights, steps forward, steps back; and so does Turkey’s. Yet the key point is to never abandon the path to democracy. In order to discuss this path lying before Turkey, recent course of events, cornerstones of democracy and core democratic values’ counterparts in the Anatolian culture, Selçuk Gültaşlı, the Brussels representative of Turkey’s highest circulating newspaper, Zaman, will be the guest speaker of the 28th Breakfast Talk. We kindly invite you and your friends to join us for a day of thought-provoking discussion organized by EPN and Golden Rose.
