The Yerevan Press Club (YPC) presented the qualitative research
findings of the recent study on the Dynamics of Media Representation
of Armenia-Turkey relations in Armenian and Turkish Media.
The YPC and the Faculty of Communications at Izmir University of
Economic conducted the research in 2011 as part if the "Support
to Armenia-Turkey Rapprochement" project funded by the USAID and
implemented by the Eurasia Partnership Foundation, the Yerevan Press
Club, the International Center for Human Development and the Union
of Manufacturers and Businessmen (Employers) of Armenia.
The study examines how much attention Armenia-Turkey relations
received in the media in each country, how the coverage related to
the political dynamics in each country, the sources of information
were used when covering events in the other country, and what aspects
of each country received attention.
According to the results of the study, Armenia-Turkey relations
received more attention in Armenia than in Turkey. The media in
Armenia and Turkey focused mainly on the state-to-state aspects of
Armenia-turkey relations, leaving aside internal political situation,
social issues, culture and human stories. The media in Armenia and
Turkey relied mostly on sources within their own country, with only
a very limited use of sources within the other respective country.
Commenting on the trends of coverage, YPC President Boris Navasardyan
said the level of tolerance is gradually decreasing. He stressed
that the program is called to contribute to the Armenian-Turkish
rapprochement.
