Haigazian University Features "The Armenian Genocide" of Time Magazine
Beirut, On Friday the 3rd of March 2007, the Book Club of the Haigazian
University's Women's Auxilary featured the 52-minute documentary on the
Armenian Genocide, prepared by the French director Laurence Jourdan, and
distributed by the European edition of Time magazine in its Feb. 12, 2007
issue.
Around 50 people gathered in the movie theatre of Club La
Marina, Dbayeh watched the well prepared DVD, which features mass
deportations from Armenia during the First World War, live testimonies of
the genocide survivors, in addition to written correspondences of foreign
ambassadors to their countries, reporting atrocities undertaken at the time.
Mayda Keleshian, a member of the Women's Auxiliary, gave a
short presentation on the circumstances under which this documentary was
prepared. In fact, it was in response to a Turkish DVD distributed formerly
by Time magazine, on its June 6, 2005 issue, as a paid advertisement
promoting tourism in Turkey, which shows up to be a denialist propaganda on
the Armenian Genocide.
This documentary was the fruit of the dedicated work of many
organizations, to whom the whole Armenian nation should be thankful:
Memoire 2000, the Coordinating Council of Armenian Organizations in France,
Comite de Defense de la Cause Armenienne, j'Accuse, the Movement against
Racism and for Friendship among People, Switzerland-Armenia Association,
the French Association of Armenian Lawyers and Jurists, the
European-Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy and the California
Courier newspaper.
