Matthew Duss (Foreign Policy Adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders) and Hugh Pope (International Crisis Group, hughpope.com)

On Foreign Entanglements, Matt talks to Hugh, who is in Turkey, about how protests started in a park in Istanbul and grew into something much bigger and broader. Hugh argues that Prime Minister Erdogan’s harsh reaction to the protests was a rare miscalculation, but that he can turn this crisis into an opportunity.
