The Albuquerque International Association is pleased to present a lecture by Necip Orhan titled Impacts of the Recent Turkish Presidential Election on Turkey and the World. After an unprecedented presidential runoff election, Recep Erdoğan has extended his two decades in power in Turkey. Mr. Orhan will look at the effect this outcome will have within the country and around the world, particularly with respect to its role in NATO, where it has currently been delaying Sweden’s entry into the alliance.

The Dialogue Institute is a non-profit, social, cultural, educational and charitable organization operating in 7 states which establishes bridges between faiths, cultures and communities through respectful dialogue.
