Words of Welcome

Summary/Abstract: I would like to welcome you for our meeting on NATO’s New Security Concept. This Conference is part of our study on Turkey’s security in the 21st century and this is an ongoing study at the institute. It was an opportunity for us as suggested by Ambassador Ildem to have NATO as the primary factor. Of course, NATO has been Turkey’s primary pillar for security in the world and in our region. Many things have changed in the new world, and we would like to take this opportunity to look at what has changed and what would be the change, new tasks, new risks, new policies. The conference as you see in the programme that is in your folders will cover many areas. Of course, we will cover also the thorny of areas that impact the future of NATO. But before proceeding, I would like to invite professor Metin Heper, Vice Rector and Dean of Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences, on behalf of Bilkent University.
