Turkey will send a message of peace and friendship to the Armenian capital of Yerevan through the common traditions of melody and dance. Armenia will welcome its first Turkish soloist in the form of violin virtuoso Cihat Askin.
The Armenian capital of Yerevan is preparing to host a soloist from Turkey for the first time in the history of the Turkish Republic. This convergence between the people of the two nations is necessary before diplomatic dialogue between governments can occur, political scientists consistently emphasize. People are trying to understand and comprehend "the other Turk" and "the other Armenian" socially and culturally.
In light of these developments, Armenian violin virtuoso Edward Tatevosian gave a recital at the Macka Campus of Istanbul Technical University, or ITU, last week. Tatevosian also gave a master class to the students of ITU. As an answer to the visit of Tatevosian, violin virtuoso Cihat Askin, who has a career that features many national and international awards, will meet Armenian music lovers in Yerevan on Dec. 10 at the Opera and Ballet Hall, one of the most prestigious concert halls in the city.
