When we first convened the Heybeliada Talks in July 2008, we did not anticipate the meetings would last for so long. By now, it has been more than five years during which we have had fourteen rounds and several side meetings.

Following the resumption of the official Cyprus negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations in February 2014, GPoT Center organised the 15th round of the Heybeliada Talks to allow the Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and participants from Turkey and Greece to meet and exchange views and opinions on the current developments on the island in parallel with the high-level track.

GPoT Center's project officers Duygu Alpan and Mehmet Akgoz, together with intern Omar Sheira, attended a political meeting at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNS) Turkey, in Istanbul. Duygu presented domestic Turkish politics, Mehmet spoke on Turkey-EU Relations, and Omar discussed Turkish foreign policy. GPoT members engaged in a dialogue with members of the 3H Movement and Young Liberals.

GPoT Center's project officers, Sofia Hafdell and Mehmet Akgöz together with intern Omar Sheira hosted 50 students from The Sct. Knuds Gymnasium, located in Denmark. They presented on EU-Turkey relations, Turkish foreign policy in the MENA region, and current domestic developments in Turkey.
