Hrant Dink Foundation perceives the field of history as the platform where the past can be confronted, and a different future based on a conscientious and peaceful language can be created. Projects on both Armenian history and the history of Turkey are prepared with the aim of philosophically and ethically approaching the writing of history from outside the official discourse. This approach takes into consideration the bond between the living being and its natural living space.

Departing from the experience of this living being, it aims to render history not a frozen and distant strip of time but a part of our awareness in the present. The Foundation supports all oral history studies aimed at creating a common memory. Projects that begin where theses and slogans end, help societies become acquainted with one another and serve a critical view are given priority. Because, a history of conscience creates a future of hope.
