Jens Bastian, ELIAMEP’s Senior Policy Advisor; CATS Research Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), published a paper entitled “Turkey: An Emerging Global Arms Exporter”.

Drone exports are the most visible sign of what is a new era for Turkey’s defence policy. For Turkey’s NATO partners, this recalibration presents strategic challenges for further cooperation with Ankara.
