On January 22, young members of the Armenian, Greek, Assyrian, and Jewish communities in Turkey met with Hasan Doğan, one of the heads of the Turkish presidency's office, in Ankara. This was reported by Ermenihaber.

Fourteen youth participants from the ‘Menti-Mentor’ program, as well as the program coordinators Meri Taksid Deveciyan and Aras Yolosever, attended the meeting on behalf of the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople.
