Two directors from Turkey and Armenia are set to shoot a documentary
in a bid to contribute to the rapprochement efforts between the
countries after Turkish president’s historic visit to Yerevan, the
Armenian capital.

Turkish director Eray Mert and his Armenian colleague Gevorg Nazarian
have been working on the project since October and they are scheduled
to start in December shooting the joint documentary film in Yerevan
which tells the story of a Turkish boy and an Armenian girl who fall
in love after meeting on the Internet.

The project for the documentary, titled Aras after the river that runs
along the Turkish-Armenian border, is sponsored by the U.S. Embassy
in Ankara.

The documentary will also feature stories told by older generations
in Turkey and Armenia.
