Addressing a nation hard-hit by the political ramifications of the Iraq War, Lyndon LaRouche was able, during his June 13-18 visit, to shift the mood in the country from pessimism to hope that U.S.-Turkish relations can be repaired, not through Ankara's capitulation to imperial dictate, but through a fundamental shift inside the United States, spearheaded by LaRouche's Presidential campaign. He was the keynote speaker at a conference in Istanbul, co-sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Department of the Istanbul Municipality, on the theme "Eurasia: New Key for Global Development and Peace"; and another, on the same theme, hosted by the Ankara Chamber of Commerce. Among the 700 people attending the two events were government ministers, members of Parliament, intellectuals, professors and students, and the media.
