Turkish Today’s Zaman news agency reports that a photography exhibition titled “Beyond the River” will be hosted by the Swiss embassies in Turkey and Armenia as part of an initiative titled the Turkish-Armenian Border Project on November 12.
Photographic masterpieces depicting the border crossing experiences of people living in two villages on the Turkish and Armenian banks of the Aras River will be showcased at the Ankara Contemporary Arts Center located on Kennedy Street in the Kavaklıdere district of Ankara.
Note, Switzerland was the mediator between Turkey and Armenia in the now-suspended 2009 protocols, which attempted to normalize relations between the two estranged neighbors and envisaged, among other things, the opening of a common border.
As reported, the Çankaya Municipality along with several other organizations, namely Anadolu Kültür, the Armenia-based City Research Center (CRC), Open Society Foundations and the UK-based Global Dialogue are sponsoring the exhibition.
