Dusek: "Turkey continues to be a big sourve of inspiration"

Director of the Middle East and North Africa region for the World Economic Forum (WEF) Miroslav Dusek underlined the important role played by Turkey during the Arab Spring which started with a series of protests and demonstrations in Tunisia in December 2010 and subsequently spread to North Africa and Middle East. "Turkey's experiences are vitally important in the transformation that North Africa is going through. One year after the start of the Arab Spring, parliaments are being founded following elections in this region. At this point, Turkey continues to be a big source of inspiration," said Dusek at the press meeting. Dusek added that they want to make sure that in 2012 in Istanbul they helped decision-makers across all levels of society put together a foundation for the whole region to emerge as one of the most stable, secure and prosperous regions in the world.
