/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A video documenting the achievements of the Armenian
National Committee - Western Region (ANC-WR) has been posted on
www.youtube.com. This video may be subject to censorship by the Turkish
government because it includes numerous references to the Armenian
Genocide. According to Eurasia Daily Monitor, a new set of Turkish
government regulations may criminalize access to websites and internet
content that does not conform to government-approved standards. The
article goes on to state that these latest restrictions certainly
are not in keeping with the openness and transparency required by
the European Union.
"From denying the genocide to censoring our YouTube videos, we see
the same pattern of the Turkish government seeking to subvert freedom
of expression and twist historical facts," stated Andrew Kzirian
Executive Director of the ANC-WR.
