Invitation 19th EUTCC Conference
The EU Turkey Civic Commission (EUTCC) will hold its 19th International Conference on EU Turkey and the
Kurds on 26-27 March 2025 in the European Parliament. The theme of the conference is:
THE EUROPEAN UNION, TURKEY, THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE KURDS
This year’s conference comes at a time of increasing wars and political uncertainty in the world. In addition,
the conference has a special significance in these historic times when the Middle East is being reconstructed
and important steps towards a political solution of the Kurdish question in Turkey are being taken and
discussed. In such a critical process, it will be very important to discuss what the wider public, especially the
EU, should or can do for peace and democracy. A peaceful and democratic regional process is only possible
with broad support. That is why your participation in our conference and your expertise will be particularly
important.
We are writing this letter to invite you to participate in the annual International Conference on the EU,
Turkey and the Kurds hosted by the EU Turkey Civic Commission (EUTCC) in cooperation with the The Left,
the Greens-European Free Alliance and the Groups of the Free Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.
For 19 years, the EUTCC has organised annual international conferences in the European Parliament,
focusing on the Kurdish question and democratic processes in Turkey. With invited civil society
organisations, academics, European, Turkish and Kurdish politicians, policy-makers and activists these
conferences have received international attention, politically and in the media. We are proud that
internationally recognised individuals like Noam Chomsky, Leyla Zana, Shirin Ebadi, and Bianca Jagger
support the work of the EUTCC.
The final resolution of each conference has urged the European Union (EU), the United States (US), the
international community and all democratic forces to use their political influence to encourage Turkey to
find a peaceful, political solution to the Kurdish question.
Hereby, we are kindly asking you to participate in our conference as your participation will contribute to the
quality of the discussions through which you have the opportunity to raise your short comments and
questions to the speakers.
As an official «European Parliament personal badge/pass» will be provided to all participants to the
Conference, all participants MUST send us the following details:
1) Family name
2) First name
3) Date of birth
4) Nationality
5) Type of ID card
