The Turkey programme of the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) organised an online public discussion. Why are Turkey and France at odds on so many fronts, from the Eastern Mediterranean to a dispute over Islam(ism)? How is this confrontation seen by Muslims in France? How much is foreign policy driven by domestic issues, how will economic relations develop and what could be done to ease the tensions, are some of the questions the panel will address.
