TURKS SPENT $ 1MILLION ON FILM DENYING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

Liberty Radio informed that the videodisc attached to the latest issue of
the American Times denies the Armenian Genocide. The videodisc released in
Turkey informs the readers of the periodical that the events happened in the
Ottoman Turkey in 1915 were no genocide, but they were an exile. The disc
says that the Turkish Government provided the exiled Armenians with food and
water and very often they were fed better that the Turkish soldiers
escorting them. The authors of the film represented Taleat Pasha as a
national hero.

The Azeri representative of the film states that “the Armenians who
massacred the Turks earlier now kill the Azeris.” The disc says that the
Armenians fought in the army of Hitler and carried out terrorist acts
against the Turkish diplomats. “Those who keep saying that they were
massacred in the genocide, committed genocide themselves.”

Sinan Aygun, chairman of Ankara Trade House, said that $1 million were
required for shooting the film. They managed to accumulate the required sum
thanks to the donations. Half a million of Europeans will receive the
videodisc denying the Armenian Genocide with the help of Times.
