Richard Moore, the chief of MI6, gave his farewell speech in #Turkey and introduced a new portal to recruit spies to protect Britain's national interests.What does this imply for Turkey's role in the region? The #UK has given serious messages to all. #geopolitics #strategy www.gov.uk/government/s...
