The II Yerevan Turkish Film 23.5 Festival will be held on March 25-27
in Armenia, being organized in assistance with the Caucasus Center of
Peace-Making Initiatives, British Embassy in Armenia, and Initiative of
‘Armenia-Azerbaijan-Turkey Step to Dialogue’.

This year’s festival provides a platform for 77 applicants from Ankara,
Istanbul, Adana, and other Turkish cities as well as from film-makers
of Turkish origin from other countries. However, festival’s director
George Vanian said that because of closed border and absence of a
postal connection between Armenia and Turkey, some applications and
films were not received and stayed beyond festival.

In the framework of the event, Awheel Screening will follow the
Festival in Armenia’s regions.

Aris Nalci, a representative of the Hrant Dink Foundation, will guest
on ceremony of opening of the Festival.
