Mission and Vision

          The aims of the center is to change the perception of the East, which is a research object for the West within the concept of orientalism, and to transform it into an effective factor for these researches. Within this context, it also aims to recognize and introduce the West by conducting researches in a wide range of areas from its geography to its religious texts.


The East, the cradle of civilization, actually played a very prominent role in the formation of the foundations of the West although the discourses of the West about the East have dominated the history, The vision of the center, which believes in the necessity of protecting its own system of values culturally, is to contribute to the literature nationally and internationally to take steps that will create its own discourses about the East rather than the discourses produced by the West.
