About
From West to Türkiye
INDEPENDENT VOICE
Öznur Küçüker Sirene
Türkiye Specialist – International Relations Expert
My journey between Türkiye and France has taught me to understand the world beyond geographical and intellectual boundaries.
Today, I analyse international affairs not only through the information conveyed by the media, but also by taking into account the often invisible connections between power dynamics, diplomacy, historical background, and human stories.
I created this platform as a space for independent thinking, in-depth analysis, and diverse perspectives. My aim is to make sense of the world beyond the noise of the news cycle and to offer you a different perspective on the events shaping our time.

After beginning her academic studies at Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne University, she was admitted to Sciences Po Paris, one of France’s most prestigious institutions in political science. She became the first Turkish student admitted to Sciences Po’s Dijon campus, which specializes in Central and Eastern European studies.

Drawing on both her academic background and field experience, Öznur Küçüker Sirene has become one of the independent analysts regularly consulted by international media on issues related to Türkiye, Europe, the Middle East, and global affairs. She has appeared on numerous international media outlets, including France 5, Arte, France 24, and RT France. She has also written for TRT Français and hosted the TRT Türk program Gençler Ne Diyor?, which explored how young Turks living in Europe perceive current affairs.
Today, Öznur Küçüker Sirene continues her work as an independent analyst, author, and media commentator. Through her YouTube channel, X account, and other digital platforms, she provides analysis of international affairs, explaining Türkiye’s strategic position, global power dynamics, and transformations in foreign policy through an accessible yet analytical approach.
