    An Armenian Turkish seminar on "Cinema as a Means of Dialogue
    and Understanding" is underway in Yerevan. Ten young Turkish
    cinematographers are visiting Armenia at the invitation of the
    "Golden Apricot" Film Festival. The main objective of the seminar is
    to study the opportunities of joint film production by Armenian and
    Turkish directors.

    Creative director of the "Golden Apricot" Film Festival Susanna
    Harutyunyan considers that the seminar on "Cinema as a Means of
    Dialogue and Understanding" will yield positive results in the
    near future.

    On April 10-14 twelve Armenian cinematographers participated in the
    "Cinema and History" seminar in Istanbul on the sidelines of the 27th
    Istanbul Film Festival. Both parties declared the seminar was very
    productive. The next step was initiated by Armenians.

    Turkish film director Senem Tuzen believes that the "language of
    cinema" will promote the cooperation between the Armenian and Turkish
    cinematographers.

    Turning to the latest events in the region, Program Coordinator of the
    Anadolu Kultur Association Cigdem Mater Utku noted: "We all saw the
    results of the Russian-Georgian conflict. We also understand the sense
    of inviting President Abdullah Gul to the Armenia-Turkey match in =0
    AYerevan. We are sons of the same region and we need no borders. We
    do believe in the unifying and peace-making power of cinema."
