The speaker will present the activities and results of the “Support to Armenia-Turkey Rapprochement” (SATR) project, and seek your feedback.  The project is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by a Consortium of Armenian organizations: Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF), International Center for Human Development (ICHD), Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia (UMBA), and Yerevan Press Club (YPC), in partnership with Turkish partners Anadolu Kültür, Global Political Trends Center (GPoT), Turkish-Armenian Business Development Council (TABDC), and several others. The project’s goal is to develop new business partnerships and regional professional networks, engagement of civil society in alliance building to contribute to Armenia-Turkey normalization, and support government and non-governmental efforts in this area. The two-year project started on October 1, 2010 and will end on September 30, 2012. More comprehensive information about the SATR project can be found at www.armturkdialogue.net
