Conference

"U.S.-Iran Negotiations on IRAQ"

by Kamran Bokhari
Director of Middle East Analysis, Strategic Forecasting Inc.

Date / Venue: November 8, Thursday, 2007 / SETA Foundation
Time: 15.00-16.30

We are pleased to invite you to a conference on "U.S.-Iran Negotiations on Iraq", to be held in SETA Foundation on Thursday, November 8, 2007.

U.S foreign policy on Iraq has moved away from dealing with Sunni insurgency to containing the rise of Iran. At the same time, though, Washington needs to reach a settlement with Tehran in order to stabilize Baghdad. These two seemingly contradictory goals are at the heart of the problems plaguing Iraq and the region.

Kamran Bokhari will talk about U.S. - Iran negotiations on Iraq and will tie this in with the Turkish-Kurdish angle as well.

We very much hope you will be able to attend.
