October Luncheon

A TIMELY FORUM FOR THOSE NAVIGATING TODAY’S EVOLVING GEOPOLITICAL LANDSCAPE.

On Thursday, October 23, the Propeller Club is honored to host Mehmet Ali Bayar at the Grand Hyatt Istanbul — one of Turkey’s most distinguished figures in diplomacy and politics.

In his keynote address, “At the Threshold of a New Era: Current Developments and Future Outlook in Turkish American Relations,”

Bayar will provide a high-level assessment of the current trajectory in bilateral ties, alongside strategic insights into Turkey’s positioning within broader global and regional contexts.

With a career that includes senior roles at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chief Foreign Policy Advisor to President Süleyman Demirel, and leadership in Turkish politics, Bayar offers a rare and authoritative perspective on international affairs. His analyses are closely followed by diplomatic, academic, and policy-making circles alike.
