Zeyno Baran is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on January 31, 1972 in Istanbul, Turkey. Zeyno Baran, a Turkish American scholar, was born January 31, 1972. Her interests include issues such as US-Turkey relations and Islamist ideology. Energy security in Europe or Asia is also a concern. She was Director of The Center for Eurasian Policy and Senior Fellow at The Hudson Institute, a Washington, D.C. think tank. Prior to joining The Hudson Institute in April 2006, Baran worked as Director of International Security and Energy Programs for The Nixon Center. From 1999 to 2002, Baran was also the Director of The Caucasus Project at Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Baran’s insights and research are not only focused on Islam but also Turkey. Famously, she wrote a Newsweek article on December 4, 2006 that stated that there was a 50-50 chance of a coup in Turkey.
Some claim that Baran was vindicated after the nomination of Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gül for President led to significant public protests and the issuance of a cautionary statement from the Turkish General Staff. There were some tensions between the Turkish military and the ruling Justice and Development Party prior to the 2007 elections when the military issued a warning on the website of the Turkish General staff, which has been dubbed “e-warning.” This did not prevent a resurgent Justice and Development Party from gaining over 46 percent of the popular vote in the July 2007 elections. There are allegations that the public protests were orchestrated by a clandestine illegal organization named Ergenekon. Alleged members of this organization have been indicted on charges of plotting to foment unrest, among other things by assassinating intellectuals, politicians, judges, military staff, and religious leaders, with the ultimate goal of toppling the pro- Western incumbent government in a coup that was planned to take place in 2009. Hence, the prediction of a coup by Baran may have been based on these developments.
Baran’s Hizb ut-Tahrir Islam’s Political Insurgency (2004) stated that Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international Islamist organisation and a “conveyor belt” for radicalism. She clarified her statement by saying that “while HT does not engage in terrorist activity, it has become a vanguard of radical Islamist ideology that encourages their followers to commit terrorist acts.”

The article caused a lot of controversy and Egemen Bagis (a member of the Turkish Parliament) wrote a letter to Newsweek’s editor in which he refuted the statement. Bagis continued, “The statement belongs Turkey’s former chief of staff Ismail Hakki Karadayi who made it in a well-publicized statement in 1996 to the Turkish daily Sabah (newspaper).”
Baran wrote a monograph about this subject in 2003, and assisted the Uzbek leadership in American efforts to reach out to them to develop better strategies to counter HT’s grip in Central Asia.
In June 2007, the Hudson Institute conducted an off-the-record alternative futures meeting on the escalation of conflict between Turkey and the PKK. For this meeting, a fictitious scenario was created in which a series of PKK attacks led Turkey to intervene militarily in northern Iraq. The details of this scenario and the content of the meeting were subsequently leaked to the Turkish press, generating a controversy that rivaled the one created by Baran’s December 2006 Newsweek article.
