General Information
My interest in Anna Lindh Foundation comes from my profession as a graduate student of Social Sciences specialized in Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research. My research interest covers different topics in different fields, yet my main focus is the Middle East Region.
Mission and Objectives

Despite the globalization and the advanced means of communication, there is still lack of understanding each other. Often we have lack of knowledge and experience to understand different cultures, religions, traditions and languages. Anna Lind Foundation contributes to the creation of a colourful space for interaction between people with diverse backgrounds. Dialogue is important to understand, coexist and build sustainable peace.

Main Projects / Activities

Currently, I am working on different research projects related to the conflict in the Middle East and particularly in Syria. This includes intra-state conflict, inter-communal conflicts, armed activities regional non-state armed groups and politicization of religion in the Syrian conflict.
To present my research i participate in workshops and seminars in Finland and abroad. I also contribute to the existing literature by publishing in academic journals and in daily newspapers concerned about the developments in the Middle East.
My future research plan is to study the "small" peace agreements/ceasefires in Syria, which unfortunately do not attract the attention of the international media.
