Turkey's state-run television channel has produced a documentary on the life of Diaspora Armenians in Argentina and France.

The big-budget film, “Dostluğu Hatırlamak” (Remembering Friendship) does not feature historical problems between Turks and Armenians, Hurriyet Daily News reports.

“Outside of politics, I convey the longings of ordinary people,” director Sevinç Yeşiltaş said.

The big-budget documentary will debut this weekend on the state-run Turkish Radio and Television, or TRT, which provided funding for the film.

“Before making the film, I watched all documentaries featuring the historical problems in the TRT archive. I wanted my production to tell the human story, not the historical one,” Yeşiltaş said.

The documentary is made up of two parts, each 70 minutes long. In addition to the showings on TRT, it will be screened at domestic and international festivals.
