Project coordinators Yakup Karabacak and Oya Özden visited AKP Van Deputies Mustafa Bilici and Fatih Çiftçi, together with Van porters Yakup Aslan and Murat Melet and the Ankara porter Nagihan Konukçu.
Yakup Karabacak informed the deputies on the outlines of the project and the six-year process, while Van porters Yakup Aslan and Murat Melet made evaluations on the importance of TsPA regarding the relationship between politics and the civil society in Van.
Mustafa Bilici expressed that Van is a place presenting differences in terms of social and political structure because of receiving migration from neighboring provinces, and that is why the TsPA matters on the representation of all layers of the society with the dialogue basis it provides. Fatih Çiftçi also indicated a trust relationship between the politics and the civil society is indeed a great need, that the objectivity and the neutrality of the platform they gather on carries importance on the continuity of the participation, and his belief on the TsPA being a valuable contribution on common reasoning of the civil society.
