    PROTEST ACTION IN GERMANY OVER FILM ON FICTIONAL "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE"

    Journal of Turkish Weekly
    April 14 2010

    A protest action was conducted in front of the building of the
    SWR broadcasting company Mainz city in Germany with regards to
    demonstration of a film titled "Aghet" on ARD television, State
    Committee for Work with Diaspora Organizations of Azerbaijan reported.

    In this film about the fictional "Armenian genocide", the information,
    which Armenians spread around the world and which is a lie, is
    presented as a truth. Recently, a film lasting 90 minutes, taken in
    2009-2010, was demonstrated in the Berlin Babylon Cinema.

    The protest action in front of the TV, which presented this film to
    a wider audience, was attended by leaders and activists of the Turkic
    and Azerbaijani diasporas in Germany. The head of the Rheinland-Pfalz
    Turkish Society, Neset Hizir, delivered a letter to the representative
    of SWR television, Dr Simone Sanftenberg, on behalf of the Turkish
    diaspora. The president of the European Azerbaijanis Congress, Bashar
    Komur, did likewise on behalf of the Azerbaijani diaspora. They asked
    Dr Sanftenberg to forward the letters to the SWR's parent channel, ARD.

    Speaking on behalf of the Turkish and Azerbaijani communities
    in Germany, Neset Hizir told a press conference after the protest
    that the peoples of the two countries opposed the screening of the
    documentary Aghet by the reputable German TV channel ARD.

    A black wreath bearing the words 'Aghet - the biggest lie' was placed
    in front of the television building.

    The protest outside WRD television in Cologne was organized by the head
    of the Turkish community in Duisburg, Dr Ali Soylemezoglu, the head of
    the United Azerbaijan Society, Elkhan Karimov, the Yunus Emre Society
    and Turkish Brotherhood Society. Protesters made statements condemning
    the demonstration of a film that propagates the Armenian lies.
