SONG TOUCHING ‘THE ARMENIAN QUESTION’ BANNED

Eileen Khatchadourian’s music video ‘Zartir Vortyag’ which touches
on Armenian topics is reported to have been banned by the Lebanese
General Security

In the music video a mother is seen calling upon her son to go and
fight the enemy, and it also includes the quote The Armenian and The
Armenian by William Saroyan.

Lebanese officials are said to be afraid of offending the Turkish
Ambassador to Lebanon fearing that Turkish-Lebanese relations will be
affected with the video, since the debate about Armenian minority,
and especially the discussions over the killing of Armenians in the
beginning of the 1900s, is a very sensitive topic in Turkey.
