Ellie Geranmayeh
Ellie Geranmayeh is a British-Iranian analyst, commentator and advisor, based in London since 2013. From 2013–2015, Geranmayeh "advised European governments and companies on the nuclear negotiations between Iran and world powers".[1] She is currently a Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), and Deputy Head of its Middle East and North Africa (MENA) programme.[2]
Turkish coup controversy[edit]
In 2016, some Turkish media reported that during the evening of the July 15th attempted coup d'etat against President Erdoğan, Geranmayeh was attending an allegedly "top secret" meeting of foreign and Turkish experts linked to the CIA, in a hotel on Büyükada Island off the coast of Istanbul.[3] Subsequent accounts by the chair of the meeting, Lehigh University professor Henri Barkey, who "does have connections to the CIA",[4] rebutted the accusations, claiming that it was a "workshop on Middle Eastern countries' reaction to Iran and the nuclear agreement"[5] that had been coincidentally postponed to July 15.
