MEMPHIS — A scuffle between a filmmaker and a U.S. Congressman from
Tennessee is caught on tape.

Congressman Steve Cohen, who is running for re-election, held a press
conference in his Memphis home Wednesday when the altercation started.

Peter Musurlian is making a documentary about the election and entered
the home trying to interview the Congressman.

That’s when the two got into an argument and Cohen shoved Musurlian
out of the house.

Musurlian says he plans to file assault charges Thursday.

The filmmaker, who is Armenian, is upset that Cohen didn’t support
a Congressional referendum recognizing the killing of 1.5 million
Armenians in the early 1900s as genocide.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
