On 10 October in Istanbul, Global Political Trends Center organised a Dialogue Workshop “The Future of Syria” in the framework of the EuroMeSCo ENI Project.

The Workshop consisted of four sessions reflecting the four themes of the Joint Policy Study: the situation of minorities in Syria and the prospects of national reconciliation, the post-war military and Security Sector Reform, the post-war reconstruction and development in Syria and future political and legal structures in Syria.

During the sessions, the authors presented the initial findings of their research and contrasted them with other participants to the meeting, including practitioners, experts from the academia, civil society organisations and think tanks.

The present report is a summary of main points raised in workshop discussions.
