Please join the Harriman Institute for a talk with David L. Phillips celebrating the launch of his new book, An Uncertain Ally: Turkey under Erdogan's Dictatorship (Transaction Publishers, February 2017). Under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey has become Islamist, anti-American, and undemocratic. More journalists are jailed in Turkey than any other country. Turkey slaughters Kurds under the pretense of fighting terrorism. Erdogan seized on the failed coup attempt of July 2016 to justify a witch hunt, arresting tens of thousands and ordering the wholesale dismissal of alleged coup sympathizers.
