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.
