The launching of IS was an event to remember...
FASS has launched its new diploma program BA in International Studies with a simulation of the Cyprus negotiations by our students, in Taksim Marmara Hotel, February 25th. Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoğlu and the president of the UN General Assembly Abdulaziz El-Nasser honored us with speeches and comments before and after the event.
A group of three student teams from European Studies (MA), SPS (BA), Political Science (MA, PhD) and Conflict Analysis and Resolution (MA), representing the UN, Turkish and Greek Cypriots, was very successfully prepared by faculty members Teri Murphy and Emre Hatipoğlu. It was an event to remember—for all of us, but most of all, for the participating students who were applauded by Davutoğlu, Al-Nasser, Nihat Berker and an international group of distinguished academics.
