Soner Çağaptay is the director of the Turkish Research Program at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy.[1] He is an expert on US-Turkish relations, Turkish politics, and Turkish nationalism.

Biography

Cagaptay received a Ph.D. in history from Yale University in 2003. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on Turkish nationalism.

Besides English and Turkish, his research languages include French, German, Spanish, Bosnian, Hebrew, Azerbaijani, and Ottoman Turkish.[1]

Among his honors are the Smith-Richardson, Mellon, Rice, and Leylan fellowships, as well as the Ertegun chair at Princeton.[2]

He has been the instructor for courses on the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe at Princeton and Yale. His spring 2003 course on modern Turkish history was the first offered by Yale in three decades.[1] From 2006 to 2007, he was Ertegun Professor at the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. At present he is a visiting professor at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.[3]

He is the author of many op-ed pieces, which have appeared in publications such as: The Wall Street Journal, Jane's Defense Weekly, Foreign Policy, Newsweek, Newsweek Türkiye, The Washington Times, Jerusalem Post, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, International Herald Tribune, and many others.[4] He also is a regular columnist for Hürriyet Daily News and Economic Review, the oldest English version of Turkish news in print.[5] In addition, he has appeared on Fox News, C-SPAN, CNN, NPR, Voice of America, al-Jazeera, BBC, CNN Turk, and al-Hurra.[6]

He also currently serves as chair of the Turkey Advanced Area Studies Program at the State Department's Foreign Service Institute.[7]

Cagaptay is very critical to the ruling Justice and Development Party and other major faith-based communities in Turkey (Gulen Movement). His pro-military position and support to the neo-conservative views regarding Turkey were criticized as his engaging a "Fight Against Turkey." [8]
