As part of The Halle Institute's Turkish Lecture Series, Turkish Ambassador Namik Tan visited Emory University to present his perspective on U.S.-Turkey relations on Nov. 9, 2011 at the Rollins School of Public Health. Tan also discussed political tensions between Turkey and Israel following the May 2010 Gaza flotilla incident. Tan was appointed Ambassador of Turkey to the United States in February 2010. Prior to this appointment, he served as Deputy Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responsible for bilateral political affairs and public diplomacy. He was previously Ambassador of Turkey to Israel from 2007 to 2009. The Turkish Lecture Series, a signature program of the Claus M. Halle Institute for Global Learning, brings public intellectuals of the highest caliber in the fields of Ottoman and Turkish studies, including business and trade, history, politics, and culture, to interact with Emory students and faculty and members of the Atlanta-area community.
