DESCRIPTION:Brussels\, 13 June 2018\, 09:30-11:00Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung\,
  Avenue de l'Yser 11\, B-1040 Brussels\nTurkey will hold snap presidential
  and parliamentary elections on 24 June\, some 17 months earlier than sche
 duled. Thereafter Turkey will move from a parliamentary to a presidential 
 system of governance that grants sweeping powers to the new president. Wit
 h the stakes so high\, in a totally unprecedented move\, Turkey's historic
 ally fragmented opposition has mobilised and united. Political parties fro
 m different backgrounds and ideologies have a common goal - to defeat Erdo
 gan and his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and restore a parli
 amentary system. However\, this will not be easy. The ongoing state of eme
 rgency\, new controversial electoral laws and an imbalanced media landscap
 e represent major challenges. This panel will look at why snap elections w
 ere called\, what are the key issues and challenges\, and who are the key 
 contenders. Speakers will also offer their views on the different scenario
 s for the outcome and how could it impact both Turkey domestically and ext
 ernally\, including relations with the EU and US. The European Policy Cent
 re\, the European Foundation for Democracy and the Multinational Developme
 nt Policy Dialogue of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung\, are jointly organisin
 g the breakfast debate 'Snap Elections in Turkey: Erdogan reloaded or a st
 ep change?' The event will be held in English and under Chatham House Rule
