Last year in June 1996 we invited Danish Ombudsman Hans Gammeltof-Hansen to visit Turkey. The Centre for Strategic Research SAM organised conferences for him in Ankara and Istanbul where he shared his knowledge and thoughts with MPs, academics, journalists and bureaucrats on the Ombudsman System, which we do not yet have in Turkey. In October 1996, the Centre organised a conference for Sir Alan Walters, who had served as personal economic adviser to Lady Thatcher during the early years of her government and who is currently Vice-Chairman of the AIG-Trading Inc. In his conference, Sir Alan shared his experiences with a large number of Turkish bureaucrats and non-governmental participants, on deregulation, tax reform and privatisation
