Turkey is now at the center of world attention - the reasons are multiplying all the time. It’s enough to mention war in Syria, conflict with Russia, migration crisis in the European Union, tensions with a number of European countries, including historical issues, Ankara's role in the Middle East and South Caucasus, Turkey's functions in NATO, internal political changes etc.
Turkey's role - historical, geopolitical, economic, cultural - is so great that none of the great powers can ignore it. A look on Turkey from Moscow and Washington is the next issue of the joint project of "Kommersant" and The Washington Times, carried out with the support of the Valdai Discussion Club and the Washington-based Center for the National Interest.
