GEOPOLIST - Istanbul Centre for Geopolitics, founded by News About Turkey (newsaboutturkey.com), is a prominent source of comprehensive and meticulous analysis of the most significant geopolitical events. Our portal utilizes Istanbul's advantageous geographical position as a crossroads between the East and West to offer you the most up-to-date information and in-depth analyses of global affairs, security, and economic patterns. GEOPOLIST aims to offer you comprehensive reports, insightful analysis, and evidence-based insights to help you understand the complex field of geopolitics. Our materials are essential for individuals who are interested in remaining educated about the influential factors shaping our globe, including politicians, scholars, and well-informed global citizens. We aspire to become an official think tank in Turkey in the future, provided that political conditions allow us to achieve this goal. Meanwhile, you are invited to participate in our discussions, where we will explore important matters and recent occurrences that impact the current geopolitical environment. In response to growing demand, Geopolist now offers project-based risk advisory—including Risk Reports, Due Diligence, and Investment Analysis—focused on Turkey and its neighbourhood: MENA, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Balkans.
