Nightingale Int. cited in new Atlantic Council report on Turkey in Central Asia

We are pleased to announce that Nightingale Int. is cited in a new report by the Atlantic Council, titled “Why Washington should pay attention to Turkey’s presence in Central Asia” by Kiran Baez. Atlantic Council

The report examines how Turkey has expanded its economic, political, and security footprint in Central Asia, and what this means for US foreign policy in a region increasingly shaped by connectivity projects like the Middle Corridor, shifting great-power competition, and new security dynamics. Atlantic Council

In this context, Nightingale Int.’s work is referenced in the discussion on Russia’s perception of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) and the emerging narrative competition in the region. The report notes our analysis that Moscow is beginning to see the OTS as a challenge to its presence in Central Asia and is responding with its own counter-narratives and soft-power tools. Atlantic Council

Being cited by the Atlantic Council’s Turkey Program and Eurasia Center is an important milestone for Nightingale Int., and it underlines our role in the wider policy debate on Central Asia, Turkey, Russia, and Western engagement in the region. Atlantic Council+1

We will continue to deepen our coverage of Turkey’s role in Central Asia, the Middle Corridor, and the evolving regional order, and share further insights from our research in upcoming Nightingale Int. publications.
