Episode 78 - Turkey's Strategic Goals in the Middle East (The Death of Kemalism?)

<p>Turkey is attempting to reassert itself back onto the world stage but stands at a crossroads as to which direction to extend its influence. Europe has blocked Turkey's entry into the EU for decades now, and Central Asia remains a little out of reach, so should Ankara turn toward the Middle East for adventurism. With this question in mind, we ask our experts what are Turkey's short and long-term goals here in the Middle East, and whether we will see Turkey once again use its geography to dominate the energy industry. <br> <br> On the panel this week:<br> - Gönül Tol (MEI)<br> - Rich Outzen (Atlantic Council)<br> - Matthew Bryza (Jamestown)<br> - James F.
