It was 2007. A very exciting project for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) was being conducted. The organization was going to be transformed into a powerful foundation and contribute to the Muslim world with a 10-year reform project. Then-president of the think tank, Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research (SETA), İbrahim Kalın, was involved in the project on behalf of Turkey. He called me and talked about the project and told me that they were looking for a media advisor for the OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, and asked if I would be interested. I told him I would be happy to think about it.
