Many local and foreign scientists will come together on Tuesday, May 18 within the scope of the "Change in the Middle East with its Socio-Political Aspects" symposium. Giving information about the symposium organized by Istanbul Gelisim University Department of Political Science and International Relations, Istanbul Gelisim University Political Research Center (IGUSAM) and Turkish - Arab Economic and Strategic Cooperation Association (TASCA), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yavuz Çillier said: " It has been at the center of international politics for a long time due to the ethnic and sect-based conflicts between the countries in the region and the terrorism and refugee crises arising from the political vacuum created by these conflicts. All struggles, conflicts and crises are causing the Middle East region to undergo political, economic and social change continuously. In order to make correct analysis of the socio-political changes in the region, studies that carefully examine the dynamics of the region are needed.”
