Among issues discussed in the seminar were “Bi-regionalism”, “Choices of Citizenship”, “Guarantees” and “Sharing of the Administrative Power”. Before answering the questions from the audience, Prof. Dr. Sözen suggested that a federal administrative model would be the best choice for the two communities and that confidence building measures in the path to a possible solution should be put into action.
