A joint Armenian-Turkish film telling about life on both sides of the trans-boundary river Arax drew mixed reaction from a Yerevan audience who viewed the film at a crowded Moscow Cinema Tuesday night.

The 30-minute-long semi-documentary, “Arax Banks”, was produced by the Armenian Marketing Association and Turkish-Armenian Business Development Council nongovernmental organizations with assistance from the U.S. embassies in Armenia and Turkey. It attempts to present the opinions about each other of the people, Armenians and Turks, living on the right and left banks of the river separated by a closed border.
