In many ways, this has been our most challenging episode, with Turkey taking unexpected plot twists seemingly on a daily basis. For example, just days prior to my trip to the country, on July 15, 2016, elements of the Turkish military staged a coup attempt against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan. The putsch failed, but that day stands out as a clear \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d moment for Turkish democracy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To gain a better understanding of the coup&#8217;s ramifications I interviewed Turkey expert Soner Cagaptay of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. You can click the video above to hear what he had to say.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this video shows us just one view on one aspect of Turkey&#8217;s intricate political and economical situation. Over the next couple of weeks we aim to expand this focus and to give you a most detailed picture of where Turkey stands right now and where it might be heading. Check back next week for the launch of our new Crossroads episode <em>The Crossroads Turkey<\/em> and stay tuned for more illuminating expert interviews in the days and weeks to follow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to read about the state of Turkey&#8217;s relationship with the EU you can<a href=\"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/topics\/competitiveness\/challenges_in_international_competitiveness\/turkey-the-eu-lets-make-a-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"\u00d6ffnet in einem neuen Tab\" > click here to read our latest blogpost<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/topics\/competitiveness\/impact_of_emerging_markets\/bundestag-member-niels-annen-speaks-on-turkish-eu-relations\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"\u00d6ffnet in einem neuen Tab\" >click here to watch our latest video<\/a> on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","excerpt":"<p>On July 15, 2016, elements of the Turkish military staged a coup attempt against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan.
