Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism to launch Cultural Diplomacy project
Turkey’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism plans to carry out Cultural Diplomacy project on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Ermenihaber.am reported, citing Aksam website.
The project is expected to raise awareness of the 1915 events among Turkish and Armenian youth, help establish closer ties between the young people, raise the level of mutual understanding and respect, and reduce the tension. Implementation of cultural exchange projects and restoration of historical Armenian structures are also planned.
The project will be administered by a special secretariat comprising diplomats, scientists, historians, cultural figures, and officials. International NGOs are expected to support the project.
