SOUTHEASTERN ANATOLIA PROJECT (GAP) IN TURKEY AND FOOD SECURITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Abstract

Turkey’s Southeastern Anatolia Project, GAP (Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi), is a water-based regional development project implemented in a geopolitically important region where transboundary waters under the influence of political and natural climate change take place. The analysis of the GAP, which has been under construction for a long time, will be beneficial for new integrated projects and regional development policies.
