"Turkish National TV Screens Pro-Armenian Ararat Film
RFE/RL reported that Kanal Turk, a Turkish national channell, will screen Atom Egoian’s “Ararat” film on April 13 evening. TV Company representative said the film will be shown uncut.
In his words, the decision on film show was taken due to the desire of 72% of the audience.
The government or any Turkish authority did not ban the screening. The Ararat film is considered the most ideological films of the Egoyan films. The experts name Ararat as Armenian propaganda film. The film was financed by the Armenian lobbying groups and supported by the Armenian Government.
Any pro Armenian film or book can be sold in Turkish bookmarkets. However no pro-Turkish study is allowed in Armenian bookstores or universities.
