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 Nov. 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.
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.
The Cankaya Municipality along with several other organizations, namely
Anadolu Kultur, the Armenia-based City Research Center (CRC), Open
Society Foundations and the UK-based Global Dialogue are sponsoring
the exhibition.
