PanARMENIAN.Net - On September 15-28, Yerevan will host the exhibition "My Dear Brother. Armenians in Turkey 100 years ago". Organized upon the initiative of Civilitas foundation and Turkish Birzamanlar publishing house, exhibition will display hundreds of postcards by Orlando Kolumelo, portraying Armenian people's life in Ottoman empire in 1900-1910. Postcards also include pictures of Armenian churches, schools, plants and restaurants.



"My Dear Brother" exhibition, organized in Istanbul in 2005 displayed 500 samples of those postcards. Exhibition organizer was Osman Koker who compiled a book of that collection.



Publisher himself confesses that it was very hard to get the book published Turkey since no publishing house wanted to run the risk of introducing Armenian people's contribution to their country's development. That's why Koker had to open his own publishing house - Birzamanlar.



Osman Koker plans to attend exhibition opening due in Moscow Theatre on September 15, Civilitas foundation reports.
