YEREVAN, DECEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. The Armenia-based “Public Journalism
Club”, “Centre for Regional Studies”, “Civilitas”, and “Eurasia”
foundations have received a grant of EUR 2 million to hold programs
dedicated to the Armenian-Turkish dialogue and reconciliation by April
2015. The expert in Turkish studies Ruben Melkonyan introduced facts
proving this and noted that the Turkey-based “Hrant Dink” and
“Anadolu” foundations are cooperating with Armenian funds.

As reports “Armenpress”, among other things, Ruben Melkonyan noted:
“What I have introduced is a fact. Maybe there are honest people
working for those foundations. I don’t think that everybody has
negative intensions. Notwithstanding, it’s a fact that those
organizations, which received the grant, are elements of Turkish state
propaganda and aim at the same target along with the Turks.” Also, at
the course of the press conference held on December 13, Melkonyan
highlighted that more similar events will be held next year.
