    Track II Diplomacy and the Prospects of Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation

    February 1, 2005

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Since the early 1800s, the relationship between the Turkish and Armenian
    people has been tragic, filled with hatred and conflict. Now, a
    reconciliation commission has been working on opening a new era in the
    relations between the two sides. The initiative is trying to bring
    cooperation and communication between the governments of both countries.
    This is an example from which to learn about the necessity of Track II
    diplomacy and its contribution to conflict resolution. David L.
    Phillips, who has recently written a book on Track II diplomacy and the
    prospects of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, will be joined by Matt
    Bryza to discuss this important topic.

    Speakers:
    David L. Phillips, Deputy Director of the Center for Prevention Action
    at the Council on Foreign Relations
    Matt Bryza, National Security Council Deputy Director of Europe and the
    Caucasus

    ABOUT THIS FORUM:

    The Conflict Prevention and Resolution Forum (CPRF) sponsors launched
    this forum in 1999 as a platform for exploring innovative and
    constructive methods of conflict prevention and resolution in the
    international arena. Rather than a typical Washington debating or
    briefing session, this forum seeks not only to inform its attendees
    about various perspectives in a conflict, but also to contribute to
    viable solutions to complex conflicts by providing a secure venue for
    stakeholders from various disciplines to engage with each other in
    cross-sector, or multi-track, problem-solving. As such, the Forum
    insists on the basic ground-rules of non-attribution, mutual respect, no
    interrupting, and no partisan grandstanding. The CPRF principals believe
    that through this sustained policy focus on conflict prevention and
    resolution, monitoring of events and trends in conflicted regions,
    information exchange, and collective problem-solving, practitioners of
    international relations working independently can combine their
    strengths and minimize their weaknesses in resolving violent conflict.
