EPF in Armenia was awarded $ 210,000 from the Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs to implement a 12 month program entitled Cross Border Dialogue and Cooperation on Key Issues for Armenia and Turkey. Building on EPF’s current portfolio of cross-border programs, the program consists of two sub-projects entitled Reducing Media Bias in Armenia and Turkey and Protecting the Rights of Armenian Migrants. EPF’s program will bring together Armenian and Turkish participants with a stake in these two potentially highly-charged issues – media bias and illegal migration – as a first step toward regular cross-border dialogue. The program will be implemented in cooperation with the Global Political Trends Center, a non-profıt affiliate of Istanbul Kultur University and other Turkish counterparts.
