Zaman: Turkish, Armenian journalists want greater interaction
17.10.2014
A group of Turkish and Armenian journalists and bloggers traveling across Turkey and Armenia via Georgia between Oct. 13-26 in order to gain firsthand insight on their neighbors say the closed border between Turkey and Armenia is negatively affecting relations between the two countries, advocating for the reopening of borders which will improve the normalization process.
The journalists started out from İstanbul on Oct. 13 and will travel to different cities including İzmir, Denizli, Fethiye, Antalya, Cappadocia and Ankara to observe Turkey's economic and social development. They will continue their tour in Armenian cities including Dilijan, Yerevan, Lake Sevan, Sisian and Garni.
The Armenian-language translation of Birgul Oguz’s novel “HAH” from Turkish into Eastern Armenian was published by Antares publishing house, and it is currently available in book stores in Armenia. On December 16-18, 2017, HCA-Armenia hosted Birgul Oguz and the engaged literary translators in Yerevan for a series of promotional events.
