May 3: Talk Turkey with Çiğdem Balım

A discussion of the chalenges facing Turkey and Europe with IU professor Çiğdem Balım

When: Wednesday May 17, talk 11:00-noon, lunch noon - 12:45

Where: North United Methodist Church, N. Meridian St. at 38th St.

Turkey has long sought membership in the European Union. Roadblocks remain, as several European countries are wary of Turkey's candidacy. Could Turkey's membership in the EU help Western relations with the Islamic world? Or could the possible rejection of Turkey cause an even wider divide?

I met Çiğdem Balım at a talk last year, and even though I had only a few minutes to chat I was blown away by her very sharp and insightful views of the political situation in her native country. This will be a good event.
