Available on Soundcloud and iTunes, the broadcast looks specifically at the place and role of Turkey betwixt and between Europe and MENA, elaborating on themes picked up in his earlier article ‘What is Turkey’s MENA role today?’ (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/19246).
Dr Hagopian has just returned from ten days travelling within the region.
