GPoT Center

GPoT Center (Turkish: Küresel Siyasal Eğilimler Merkezi) officially the Global Political Trends Center is a research unit, which was established by Mensur Akgun and Sylvia Tiryaki at the Istanbul Kültür University in Turkey in 2009. The mission of the center is to conduct research, projects, to produce innovative publications analyzing the latest issues in the international relations, to formulate viable political recommendations and to boost the dialogue between civil society, academia and media. The center also works to "contribute to stability, democratization and peace through organizing multi-track diplomacy meetings". It regularly brings together opinion leaders, scholars, experts and government officials, not only from Turkey, but also from other countries.

Region-specific programs cover Armenia, Cyprus, Europe, Israel, the Middle East and North Africa. Since 2013, GPoT Center has had a special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
