International Conference Organized by ANKASAM
On May 22, 2021, the International online Conference entitled “Growing Asian Geopolitics”, organized by the Ankara Crisis and Policy Research Center of the Republic of Turkey, started its work. It was attended through the digital video communication system by professors, doctors from various countries of the world, including representatives TURKSOY and other international organizations, as well as Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of the Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan Gulshat Yusupova, a senior lecturer of the Department of International Relations and Diplomacy of the Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Candidate of Philosophical Sciences Begench Karayev and students of the Institute. At the meeting views on the geopolitical development of Asia, the role of Central Asia and Afghanistan-Pakistan, which are two major regional systems in the developing Asian geopolitics and global issues in the region's political geography were exchanged.
The main area of the Ankara Crisis and Policy Research Center (ANKASAM) of the Republic of Turkey is the geography of Asia in the context of international relations. Four regional institutes, namely Afghanistan-Pakistan (AF-PAK), Asia-Pacific, Central Asia, Russia-Caucasus function under the structure of ANKASAM. As a result of the changes taking place in international politics, the economic systems, the geo-cultural structure today, Asian geopolitics is becoming increasingly important. Known as a reconciliation center with its constructive international initiative in the world, Turkmenistan plays an important role in the Central Asian region. This is clearly evidenced by the United Nations Regional Center for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia established in Ashgabat. The conference will conclude its work on May 23, 2021.
