David Phillips, director of AU’s Center for Global Peace’s Track Two Program and a visiting scholar at Harvard University, signed copies of his book, Unsilencing the Past: Track-Two Diplomacy and Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation, Friday in the School of International Service Lounge. The book is the culmination of three years of hard work in track two diplomacy, which aims to engage civil society in order to enable contact, advance mutual understanding, and promote practical areas of cooperation. Phillips launched the Turkish-Armenian track two project in July 2001 by bringing together prestigious Turks and Armenians to establish the Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation Commission, in hopes of shedding some new light on a conflict that has lasted nearly a century. |
