Keylor in The Boston Herald on Terror Attacks in Turkey
William Keylor, Professor of International Relations and History at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on how the recent surge in terror attacks in Turkey could test the resolve of NATO and other allies.
Keylor was interviewed for a January 2, 2017 article in The Boston Herald entitled “Terror’s Toll in Turkey Could Test NATO Resolve.”
From the text of the article:
“Turkey, in a sense, is being hit from all sides, and with that many enemies, it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see Turkey as the focal point of terrorist attacks,” said William Keylor, a Boston University professor of international relations. “NATO is very important to keep in mind. If Turkey ever comes under attack from some group or some state, that would run the risk of activating the NATO treaty, which means the U.S. is committed to its defense. That’s one joker in the deck there.”
