A team from the international TV channel Al Jazeera is currently in
the eastern province of Igdir to shoot a documentary program on the
massacres committed by Armenians on Turks.
Al Jazeera, an Arab news channel broadcasting in Arabic and English,
planned to shoot a program about the massacres committed by Armenians,
the channel's Turkey bureau chief Yousef Sharif told reporters on
Thursday.
Sharif said the TV channel's team arrived in Igdir to collect
information from witnesses of the massacres. He said the monument
erected in memory of the Turks massacred by Armenians, which is
the highest monument in Turkey, would also be highlighted in the Al
Jazeera program.
The TV channel's team had conducted an interview with Ali Asker Turk,
a witness to the massacre, in Igdir. They also shot scenes in Oba
village, where 97 Turks were burnt alive by Armenians.
Al Jazeera is a television network headquartered in Doha,
Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs
satellite TV channel with the same name, Al Jazeera has since expanded
into a network with several outlets, including the internet and
specialty TV channels in multiple languages, and in several regions
of the world.
