## Resource

The 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara has drawn to a close. For two intense days, attention was locked on the Turkish capital. Beyond the debates over defense spending, burden sharing and hotspot issues, the event highlighted Turkiye's unique role within the alliance. Sitting at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Turkiye is no longer just a NATO member following a script. It is writing it. How is Ankara reshaping the transatlantic security architecture? Host Ding Heng is joined by Kamal Makili-Aliyev, Associate Professor at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg; Huseyin Bagci, Professor of International Relations at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara; Dr. Mher Sahakyan, Director of "China-Eurasia" Council for Political and Strategic Research.
