There is widespread concern that an Iranian nuclear weapon will lead to an arms race, encouraging regional powers like Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia to explore the nuclear option. Despite this worry, most nuclear-capable states have chosen not to develop a nuclear arsenal—and Turkey is no exception.
What key considerations are likely to influence Turkey's decision to proliferate? Will a nuclear-armed Iran change Ankara's position?
To mark the launch of his new paper, Turkey and the Bomb, Sinan Ülgen will address these issues together with Carnegie's Pierre Goldschmidt and Bruno Tertrais, senior research fellow at the Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique. Eva Gross, senior research fellow at the Institute for European Studies, will moderate.
Copies of Turkey and the Bomb will be available at the event. A cocktail reception will follow.
