Dear Dr. Poppy Sulistyaning WINANTI

Gadjah Mada University –Indonesia

The 6th International Turkish-Asian Congress under the title of “Asian Union?
Parameters of Politics, Security, Economy and Culture” will be organized by TASAM on 7-8
June 2012 in Istanbul.

Asian countries where more than half of the world population inhabits are trying to
develop cooperation among themselves and be active in international arena in today’s world
where balance of power is changing rapidly. Although Asia has strong countries at global
scale and it is in the process of rapid regionalization, any union has not been established at
continental scale yet.

The unique conditions of Asia prevent European Union type economical and political
integration. However, this is not to be taken as an obstacle for principal actors in the
continent to cooperate in order to improve their relations. The purpose of 6th International
Turkish - Asian Congress is to improve the mutual dependence regarding all kinds of
cooperation in Asian Continent which is becoming a new power center of the world, to
institutionalize formal and civil relations, to eliminate the poverty.

In this regard, we would like to request your attendance to the 6th International
Turkish-Asian Congress as a speaker. In order to be able to complete our preparations in
time, the following participation form should be duly filled in and returned by the deadline
of 11 May 2012 http://www.tasam.org/tr-TR/Form/KatilimciFormu/195?k=true
