2015 ENERGY ROUNDTABLE SPONSORSHIP KIT


www.turkishpolicy.com 1

Dear Friend,

As Turkish Policy Quarterly (TPQ), an Istanbul-based policy journal fostering analytical policy debates on Turkey and its neighborhood since 2002, we would be delighted to receive your valuable support in the upcoming energy roundtable discussion, which we plan to organize in October/November 2015.

Since 2006, TPQ has been organizing roundtable meetings that bring together journalists, academics, decision makers, civil society representatives, and businesspeople for in depth exchanges on issues ranging from Turkey-EU relations to security challenges in the MENA region.

These events have featured prominent figures from politics as well, such as Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden Carl Bildt, and Emeritus Professor Lord Anthony Giddens.

Upon reviewing the information in this package about our track record, we hope you will find that joining this year’s energy roundtable as a sponsor will be worthwhile for your company. Regardless of sponsorship, we cordially invite you to participate in this year’s event and to follow dynamics in the neighborhood through TPQ.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Regards,Kemal KöprülüPublisher

TPQ Roundtables in the Media

Cypriot gas ‘cheap but not easy’

“Transferring gas from Greek Cyprus to Turkey is much more economically advantageous, he said. ‘It’ll be a shame if politics gets in the way,’ he said at a roundtable organized by Turkish Policy Quarterly. ‘But politics will have to lead.’ He added that Turkey’s relations with Israel also make it impossible to strike a deal.”

–Hurriyet Daily News, 1 November 2012

To date, TPQ roundtables have been featured more than 250 times in reputable news outlets such as: Milliyet, Radikal, Hurriyet, Jerusalem Post, Al Monitor, Hurriyet Daily News, Today’s Zaman CNN Turk, and Euractiv.

Southern Gas Corridor is win-win for Turkey and EU says Hilbrecht

“Heinz Hilbrecht, a former director at the European Commission Department of Energy said Turkey and the EU have mutual interests in closer energy cooperation, and that the Southern Gas Corridor project is strategically important for both countries and is a win-win for all parties at a roundtable discussion held by Turkish Policy Quarterly and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation on Wednesday.”

–Today’s Zaman, 30 November 2011

Gaz koridoru ve... Kobani

“‘Kobani’de olup bitenlerin, SGC girişini aksatabileceği kaygısı var. Türkiye’de İngilizce yayımlanan Turkish Policy Quarterly” dergisinin önceki gün İstanbul’da yerli ve yabancı enerji uzmanlarının katılımıyla düzenlediği ‘Güney Gaz Koridoru için Kritik Kavşak’ başlıklı bir konferansta dile getirilen en önemli görüşlerden biri bu...”

Petrol için ‘çözüm’ şartı

“Turkish Policy Quarterly’nin (TPQ) dün düzenlediği enerji projelerine yönelik yuvarlak masa toplantısında konuşan Brzya, çözüm süreci ve Türkiye-IKBY enerji işbirliği arasındaki dengelere dikkat çekti. Hesaplamalara göre 45 milyar varil petrol ve 3 trilyon metreküp doğalgazı olduğu tahmin edilen Kuzey Irak’ın, devasa enerji rezervlerine evsahipliği yaptığını vurgulayan Bryza, Kuzey Irak’tan Türkiye’ye petrol ihracatının 200 ila 250 bin varil/gün seviyesine ulaştığına dikkat çekti.”

–Merve Erdil, Hürriyet, 16 October 2014



“But at the end of the day, I think that genie is out of the bottle. You’re going to see over the course of the next several years, the Kurdish area not being independent, but exercising its autonomy more.”

“The South Stream pipeline project of Russia, widely seen as a rival of the planned Nabucco pipeline, is ‘a bluff’ according to one of the speakers, because ‘Russia does not have the earmarked reserves or the financing to realize it.’ According to this perspective, Russia would need to buy and re-sell gas from Central Asia to fill the South Stream.”
