Communications expert Gökşen: 'Turkey should do its best to get closer to the EU'

Gökşen Çalışkan first came to Brussels in 2009. She works for the pan-European news service Euractiv and was selected for Belgium's 40 under 40. Her professional background in international relations gives her an interesting perspective on Turkey-EU relations. "It is the responsibility of both sides to take action and compromise. There are too many common issues that we need to tackle. From the Ukraine war to the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, European energy security and the fight against irregular migration."
