Turkey's foreign policy moves fast, and it rarely moves the way outside observers expect. I help governments, media, and businesses read it correctly — with particular focus on Turkish foreign policy, Italy-Turkey and EU-Türkiye relations, European defence and security architecture, and international security in the Eastern Mediterranean. Living between Istanbul and Italy since 2019, with a front-row seat at IstanPol, one of Turkey's leading foreign policy think tanks.

• Advisory & policy briefings — direct, tailored analysis on Turkish foreign policy, Italy-Europe relations, European defence, and international security, built for decision-makers who need clarity fast, not academic hedging.
• Media commentary — on-record interviews, on-air commentary, and background briefings for journalists covering Turkey, Italy, Europe, NATO, and international security.
