Official policies criminalizing languages other than Turkish fractured intercultural relationships. This presentation describes a conceptual perspective for the development of an intercultural center that would promote a dialogue and interactions among communities in order to learn about each other and celebrate differences and relationships among the cultures, languages, and identities of the people in Turkey, specifically among Turkish, Kurdish, and Arabic ethnic groups.
