    Turkish artist. "I wish all documents be opened"

    September 2 2014


    "I could not come to Armenia, the border there was a true border,"
    tells a Turkish artist, Serdar Yilmaz, in the conversation with us,
    referring to his many years ago wish. He was in a number of cities in
    Western Armenia: Van, Kars, and so on, was amazed at the Armenian
    culture, wanted to come to Armenia, too, but the border was closed. He
    tells that now he has many friends in Istanbul, and wishes the
    communication between the two nations be constant. I talked to him
    prior to the event announcing the launching of "Exchange of Painters"
    project. Recall that the project is implemented under the "Support to
    Armenia - Turkey normalization process" by "Public Journalism Club"
    (Armenia) and "Anadolu Kültür" (Turkey). Serdar Yilmaz, a painter,
    also an associate professor, also professor of Marmara University in
    Istanbul, said that he was informed about the project by "Anadolu
    Kültür" organization, and he kindly agreed to participate. He has
    selected 4 young university students to participate in the project. It
    was important for him that they be of different universities, has
    already got acquainted with them. With regard to the youth, he says,
    "They do not have a good understanding of the Armenian-Turkish
    relations. This project is very interesting to them, they are the new
    generation, and would create something together. They have already
    started working together, and they have gone to the museum together. I
    think it is an excellent opportunity to communicate with each other on
    cultures." I reminded the Turkish famous painter that next year is the
    100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. "I am trying to explore
    the history, and communicate with many others to understand the truth,
    he said, while noting at the same time that he is an artist, and not a
    specialist to full have the information about history. "I wish all
    documents be opened, and everything be open, so that we see
    everything. There are so many cultural values and buildings that are
    Armenian, he says. He mentions that the issues coming from history
    should be detected, he mentions that it is evident that hundred years
    ago Armenians left their historical lands. "We know that this period
    coincided with the World War I, it was a war and so on," he says and
    thinks that the historical matters should be clarified. Turkish artist
    believes that we need to communicate with each other in diversity of
    events, sharing our thoughts. "We need communication, thus much would
    be more transparent," says he.
