    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE DOCUMENTARY WILL NOT BE FEATURED IN TURKEY

    Sabah, Turkey
    Sept 30 2006

    Authorities decided not to feature a documentary called "I hate
    dogs" which is about the so-called Armenian genocide in Istanbul
    film festival.

    Ban for Armenian documentary

    A documentary called "I hate dogs" which is about the so-called
    Armenian genocide has been excluded from the International 1001
    Documentary Movie Festival which will be held in Istanbul this year.

    Swedish production documentary is based on a real story told by
    Garbis Hagopyan; an Armenian man who claimed himself a survivor of
    1915 events. Director Suzanne Khardalian told that they have notified
    about the exclusion just one day before the festival. Khardalian said:
    "This morning we have received an e-mail which was informing us about
    the exclusion. Then festival committee president Nurdan Arca called
    my partner Pea Holmquist and notified him. She told us we are still
    invited to the festival as the directors but they can not guarantee
    safety of our lives during the festival. She also told us that the
    reason behind this changed schedule was the Ministry of Culture's
    pressures against the festival committee."
