Accepted 23 April, 2013 The preservation of cultural/historic resources in international border areas can have far reaching consequences beyond the mere preservation of historic sites. They have the potential to act as “olive branches” between countries which have experienced long term conflicts and negative cultural memories. In the case of the Kars Province, in the northeastern portion of Turkey, this area was occupied by various ethnic groups and empires (Armenian, Russian, Byzantine, Ottoman etc.) that were present before the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. Tensions in this area are still persisting as the border between Turkey and Armenia, including the Kars border-crossing, has been closed by Turkey in protest to the occupation by Armenia of Nagorno-Karabakh which was previously under the sovereignty of Azerbaijan. These monuments, when they exist along national borders particularly carry very strong possibilities to be vehicles of reconciliation that will lead to long term improved economic, social and political conditions between countries which have experienced negative cultural memories. This paper will investigate the efforts of historic preservation in the Kars Province in Turkey by local governments and non-profit organizations - NGOs and its potential as an informal diplomatic or para- diplomatic vehicle between Turkey, Armenia and Russia.

Our tours will bring you closer to the people so that you will experience their hospitality first hand. .................................................................................................................................................................................................... “All of our tours have been carefully planned to ensure that the pace and tempo of travel will allow us time to stop and visit the people we meet along the road and spend time at the extraordinary places we visit. After a tour across eastern Turkey with the Alkan family we want you to have a wealth of memories to treasure and above all, we would like to see you return. Caring for our region is at the centre of our business and the foundation of our values. We not only know the regions better than anyone else but we care about the people and environment because we live there.” Sabahattin Alkan, Director & founder of Alkans Tour Agency Church of the Holy Cross (Sourp Khatch) on Akdamar Island (Aghtamar), Lake Van.
