Founded in April 2011 with the support of former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, CEFTUS has received cross-party and cross-community backing in both the UK and Türkiye. We maintain strict independence, with no affiliations to any government, political party, or institution.
The Centre for Türkiye Studies (CEFTUS) is an independent, non-partisan organisation based in London. Our mission is to foster dialogue and build bridges between the UK, Türkiye, and the wider region.
