The Olive Tree Initiative Visits GPoT Center

Students participating in the 2014 study visit organized by The Olive Tree Initiative visited GPoT Center on 30 June 2014.

Participants of the program had the opportunity to discuss Turkey-Armenia relations with GPoT Center directors, Prof. Dr. Mensur Akgun and Dr. Sylvia Tiryaki. In addition, they were given the opportunity to hear about practical examples of the work of civil society in this field by learning about GPoT Center's projects implemented up to date.

The Olive Tree Initiative is a university-based organization that promotes conflict analysis and resolution through rigorous academic preparation, experiential education, and leadership development. OTI provides students, faculty, and community participants with the education, training, and experiences needed to better understand, negotiate, and resolve conflicts.
