November 29 to December 5, 2012 the European Students’ Union, hereafter ESU held 63rd ESU Board meeting in Malta where ANSA became a full member of ESU and the SCT was nominated as a candidate member. That was the first time when the students’ delegations of both countries met .We would like to note that before the meeting in Malta ANSA invited SCT to take part in 6th General Assemble of ANSA on November 21-22, 2012. Nevertheless the Turkish part could not be present.
Thus, after the meetings in Malta SCT expressed a wish to visit Armenia and ANSA was willing to host them. On December 17, 2012 the delegation of three people from SCT made a three-day visit to Yerevan. The visit was organized in a high level in Yerevan. It was then in Yerevan the two parties discussed to set up Armenian-Turkish student dialogues and foster relations. During the visit to Yerevan, Students’ Unions of both countries made an agreement to meet in Turkey and decided to visit Istanbul. The meeting date in Istanbul was a symbolic one, 18-22 January, 2013 ANSA accepted the invitation for both being an open and an independent organization, and a member of European Students’ Union.
