Since the establishment of our Foundation in 2007, we are working to continue the legacy of Hrant Dink in the field of human rights and democratization, history, Armenia-Turkey relations, education, culture and arts. Amongst others, the normalization and development of Turkey’s relations with Armenia is one of the main objectives of the Foundation. We are keen on working on the elimination of the physical and mental barriers existing between the people of two countries.

Deep-seated insecurities characterize our society today. Our images of the world, our moral values and our traditional structures of knowledge have been shattered and the political euphoria of the years 1989–1990 has vanished. This applies in equal measure to the alleged triumph of democracy and to the self-perception of ‘the West’ as the driver of progress and development. Geopolitical conflicts have further reinforced this sense of uncontrollable change.
