Turkish Delegation Profile

Welcome to the introduction to the delegation of Türkiye, where delegates of diverse cultural backgrounds come together to represent their shared community. As Türkiye has a unique geopolitical characteristic, it doesn’t only hold differing nationalities, but also benefits for the EU. 

Türkiye has long been engaged with European integration, from the Ankara Agreement in 1963 to its EU candidacy in 1999. Since then, it has become a crucial partner for the EU for handling global issues. Especially migration as it is the bridge for refugees through the Middle East and Europe. 

As Turkey is open to various cultures, this delegation is composed of unique individuals. But, they cohere as they are from the same school; MEF International School Istanbul. They are truly passionate about leading the session with their experience and academic background. 

The main objective of this delegation is to adapt their diplomacy skills in order to contribute to the actions that can actually change the world, also achieving personal development. Because international students are coming together, they are expected to have a diverse perspective with creativity. 

As a group, the delegation consists of skilled participants. Elanur Rose Ozkurt is the vice president, and has attended two MEP sessions. The CP, Ruya Bekmezcı, has attended one. They are capable of fulfilling their roles to their best. 

The delegates have a strong foundation for debating for a wide range of topics. With experience in MUN, debate clubs, and student leadership, the delegation brings strong public speaking and diplomacy skills. 

At last, the delegates were inspired by their peers who had already participated in former MEP sessions. They are eager to broaden their knowledge of Spain and international relationships. With their diverse virtues and shared vision, the Türkiye delegation is eager to bring fresh ideas and collaborate in Madrid.
