Abstract
This paper seeks to develop ideas and input to generate a sense for new opportunities, project initiatives and advocacy messages capable of stimulating further dialogue between Armenia and Turkey and the respective societies in the two countries. It is based on the liberal assumption that civil society dialogue can exert a meaningful impact on international affairs and on relations between countries. The paper is largely based on interviews held in Armenia and Turkey in the Spring of 2011, when the borders between the two countries continued to be closed. It provides a comprehensive overview of some of the propositions put forward by key stakeholders from civil society to continue and move the dialogue forward, without disregarding the risks involved.
Ten young filmmakers from Armenia and Turkey participated in the Armenia-Turkey Cinema Platform (ATCP) workshop held in Istanbul on April 12-13, 2012 on the sidelines of the 31st Istanbul International Film Festival. The participating film projects, five per country, were handpicked by the ATCP pre-selection committee from among 35 applications.
