Turkey-Armenia Media Reporting Bus Tour 2012

Over a two-week period, 16 journalists from Turkey and Armenia traveled over 3,500 kilometers in Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia, meeting with over 40 civil society representatives, politicians, media leaders and “everyday” citizens as well as visiting dozens of historical and cultural sites in order to gain first-hand insight into their neighboring country and to report in-depth about Turkey-Armenia relations from the field.

The 2012 Turkey-Armenia Media Reporting Bus Tour began in Istanbul on May 24th with meetings at the Armenian Patriarchate, the Turkish-Armenian weekly newspaper Agos, the Hrant Dink Foundation and the TRT public television station. The group also had the chance to attend the PechaKucha Night Vol. 14: Istanbul-Yerevan Close Creative Encounters.
