26 Dijan and Hakan. We might have had difficult moments of discussion, but for me both of them are friends with whom I could talk, go out, share feelings, laugh, cry, and argue. I always regret not having invested more time to them with this busy life, but I think they know and they feel the same too. Writing this article I have them in my mind, as I also have all the Turkish friends I‘ve made in AEGEE. I will never forget the warmness of the Turkish people at all the activities we met. When I joined AEGEE a great project was ending, the memorable and very successful Peace Academy managed by my dear friend Dijan Albayrak. Now that my time and presence in AEGEE is slowly diminishing, it is great to see that the new generations of AEGEEans are still committed to combating conflicts and to giving their own responses to it. The results of the very ambitious project Turkish-Greek Civic Dialogue will definitely have an impact and will contribute to the building of more conflict- free attitude towards life in all levels. If some people say that Turkish-Greek friendship is just a trend, then I would only add that it is high time it becomes a state of mind. Congratulations to all the nice people that believed in this project and good luck for the future AEGEE activities. CASE STUDY TRIP TO KAYAKÖY-LEVISSI ........................................ by AEGEE-Ankara Turkish Greek Exchange Team 18-22 May 2000 A group of young people from AEGEE-Ankara formed a team to organise a Turkish-Greek Exchange between Ankara and Athina and as a preliminary study they decided to organise a case study trip to Kayaköy-Levissi in Fethiye - a former Greek village abandoned after the Exchange of Population in 1923. The main objective was to provide the young organisers of this exchange programme with preliminary information on Exchange of Population and other relevant issues necessary for thematic development of the event. The initially planned Exchange programme was supposed to take place for ten days with the theme “from common culture to the culture of peace”. The Project was supposed to tackle the rebetico culture, prejudices in literary texts, role of media in the culture of peace after the 1923 Population Exchange and the earthquake diplomacy. The Exchange programme itself couldn’t be realised due to financial difficulties, however the trip to Kayaköy-Levissi proved to be very successful, establishing a strong link between AEGEE members and the village, no one knew at that time that AEGEE members would organise a peace festival there in three years time. During the case study trip a total of 44 young university students from Ankara visited the Kayaköy-Levissi and seen the documentary of Mihriban Tanık on “Kayaköy”. They also met local people and as well as architects and artists living in the village to learn more about the history of the village. Even though the planned exchange programme was cancelled, the Project team prepared a very comprehensive publication titled “Kayakoy Booklet”; AEGEE-Ankara & AEGEE-Athina were awarded with the “Rüştü Koray Peace Prize” by Ankara Political Science Foundation concerning their activities with regard to peace. YOU HAVE TO SEE KAYAKÖY! Cem Tüzüner Sitting by the table of the canteen partly uninterested, partly unwilling I am having a look at the owner of these words - But why? I was not in the mood to be triggered nor motivated to end up on highway. It is so easy to live in Ankara as a lazy girl who anchored her heart into the city. I don’t have the tendency to be provoked! “At least I thought so… But as our conversation kept on I was sitting on my chair straight. My Don Quixote friend Cem was talking about an enormous abandoned village. He was telling me how he felt as he was walking around the ruins of empty houses and how he looked through the empty windows. I easily caught his excitement, as I was listening to him with my full attention and my cheeks in my hands. I have to absolutely see Kayaköy, yes but how and when?” Introduction Association des Etats Généraux des Etudiants de L’Europe
“Turkish-Greek Exchange Project, a lot of promotion, endless readings on population exchange, rebetico sessions in the Office, unlimited discussions, preparation of the first Project Document, AEGEE-Ankara being awarded with Peace Prize, telephone and e-mail traffic between Athina-Ankara. However, the project was facing difficulties: cancellations of Greek participants, financial problems led the postponing if not cancellation of the event. But then we decided to take a study trip to Kayaköy-Levissi: 44 young people in a bus, trekking from Ölüdeniz to Levissi, Poseidon Cafe Meetings” ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE KAYAKÖY! Melis Şenerdem OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF AEGEE-EUROPE ON THE SITUATION IN CYPRUS .................................................................. General Assembly of AEGEE-Europe Skopje, April 2004 AEGEE, European Students’ Forum, the largest inter-disciplinary students’ association in Europe, is a living example of overcoming mental borders, promoting a united Europe, and striving to create an open and tolerant society. Having Peace and Stability among its main fields of action, AEGEE has tried to create a platform for open dialogue between the two communities in Cyprus and the other Europeans, since 1997. One of the most relevant activities organized by AEGEE-Europe was the conference “Cyprus in Europe – Europe in Cyprus” on 12 September 2003 in the Buffer Zone in Nicosia, the last divided capital in Europe. The main outcome of this meeting was the wish of having a unified Cyprus to join the European Union in May 2004. We therefore hoped that a solution could be reached through the negotiations and the referenda held in Cyprus. We hereby express our disappointment that an agreement satisfying both sides was not found and that our desire for an undivided Cyprus to become a member of the EU has not been fulfilled. AEGEE-Europe believes that a constructive solution should be found as soon as possible, to the benefit the two Cypriot communities and the future of Europe.
