A high profile list of guests expected to enrich the deliberations during the one-day meeting includes: Azmi Bishara, Burhan Ghalioun, Viktor Mizin, Emmanuel Karagiannis, Sergei Strokan, Marwan Kabalan, Haider Saeed, Radwan Ziadeh, Fateh Hassoun, Hasan Ozertem, Majed Al Turki, Rod Thornton and Mahmoud Muhareb. Together, the speakers bring with them a peerless wealth of information and insight that is vital not only to understanding what motivated Russia’s latest moves in the Levant, but also the reactions expected from regional and global actors who are also invested on different sides of the Syrian conflict. From there, the meeting will be better placed to understand the implications for diplomatic maneuvers which previously seemed poised to reconcile the combatants in Syria and end the conflict.
Registration for the conference opens at 08:00 AM on Saturday, October 24 in the Al Mukhtasar Hall of Doha's Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Further details can be found in the conference background paper.
