Kudos to Washington’s venerable Middle East Institute which now (under female leadership) seems to be shaking off the dust of the ages and is organizing numerous pretty good public events. Up today is a v. timely day-long conference on Turkey, featuring, among other speakers, Dr. Ibrahim Kalin (more Kalin here), an adviser to PM Erdogan, and Omer Celik, deputy VP of the ruling AK Party.
I’m here in the room, where the 200 seats are filling up rapidly. Planning to live-blog. But I haven’t done that for a while so let’s see how it goes. Anyway, check back.

Helena,
Are you going to be in DC next week? Someone from my office was dispatched to that conference. I would’ve more forcefully insisted on myself if I knew you’d been going.
No, I’ll be in Charlottesville all week.
