An exhibition telling about Armenian communities in Ottoman Turkey through postcards has opened in Yerevan. Its Turkish curator says the postcards, which were also displayed in Turkey and a number of European cities, are a good means to give a perspective on the life of ethnic groups in the Ottoman Empire different from the current official one in Turkey.

Held at Moscow Cinema upon the initiative of the Yerevan-based think tank, Civilitas Foundation, and the Istanbul-based Birzamanlar Yayincilik publishing house (and sponsored by Haypost CJSC) the exhibition entitled “My Dear Brother: Armenians in Turkey 100 Years Ago” features hundreds of postcards reflecting the reality of life for an integrated community in nearly two dozen cities throughout the Ottoman Empire in 1900-1910.
