The Antalya Diplomacy Forum @AntalyaDF provided the opportunity for fruitful discussions with Deputy FM Mehmet Bozay. We are grateful for Türkiye’s additional support to the Anna Lindh Foundation. #ADF2026
I added “we prefer to talk about cultural relations that develop on an equal basis understanding that all cultures & peoples are equal” emphasising co-creation that creates bonds & asking how meaningful cultural diplomacy can take place amid genocide, ethnic & cultural cleansing.
Day 2 at @AntalyaDF. In a period of growing uncertainties, this panel explored how cultural diplomacy across arts, education, heritage, media, & creative industries can bridge divides, counter misperceptions & help build more inclusive, resilient cooperation. #ADF2026
Always a pleasure to meet and work with ALF Heads of Civil Society Network in Türkiye. The #ADF2026 provides a valuable platform for networking & raising awareness of ALF’s work on intercultural dialogue with civil society at this critical time in the Euro-Med region.
Delighted to meet MP Tugba Isik Ercan, Chairperson of the AK Party Women's Branch, at the #ADF2026. Our exchange focused on advancing women’s leadership, inclusive development & the important role of civil society, including the work of the ALF in strengthening dialogue & trust.
@EmineErdogan thank you for organising this session and for a sobering illustration of the impact on children in Palestine following the destruction of schools, universities, and libraries, including more than 104 cultural sites. I hope your call to action is heard widely.
Grateful to attend #ADF2026 session on scholasticide. Speakers urged renewed education efforts against destruction of Palestine’s education system. Prof. Ilan Pappé called it intentional cultural decimation. UN rep Najat M’jid called it violence against children.
Silence, lack of accountability and defiance of international law all together amount to a form of barbarism that drags the world farther away from dialogue every day.
Mare Nostrum, on its South-Eastern side, is turning into a sea of blood, because some believe that the rules of international law do not apply to all, and that one can annihilate everything and everyone around without being accountable.
You don't make peace by launching wars. You don't protect your people by killing kids in schools, civilians at home, and forcefully displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
Farewell, Leila Shahid, who was the face of Palestine in Europe, a country under occupation since 1948, whose voice was heard thanks to her refined diplomatic skills. She died, believing that “justice would ultimately prevail."
