Press Release
Federation of Armenian Organisations in the Netherlands demands Time
Magazine apology for misleading Turkish information
In Time Magazine of June 6 a DVD of Turkish Chamber of Commerce
(ATO) is attached to a number of advertisement pages for Turkey as
the holiday country, a DVD including a large scale collection of
propaganda material denying the Armenian Genocide. Film shots as well
as documents present the well known twisting and denying stories,
and an illustrious company of genocide denialists as Mac Carthy and
Halacoglu, prosecuted in Switzerland for denying the Armenian genocide,
make statements of the well known kind.
The Federation cannot imagine how a quality magazine like Time could
have added such a DVD to the 494 thousand copies of Time, intended
for the European market. The Federation protests against this sort
of misleading information and demands Time Magazine at least apology
on the front page of next week issue.
Turkey will not impress Europe with this rearguard action and
propaganda DVD, since for most European Countries the Armenian Genocide
is a fact, politically as well as scientifically spoken.

the Netherlands

To the Editor of Time Magazine
Dear Madam, Sir,
The Federation of Armenian Organisations in the Netherlands and itıs
24 April Committee are astonished by the fact that how a quality
magazine like Time could have added a free DVD as tourist information
for Turkey, which however practically exclusively contains misleading
historical information, namely obvious distortion of historical
facts in favour of denial of the Armenian Genocide. According to
our information this DVD is distributed this week to 494 thousand
subscribers of Time Magazine in Europe.
The Federation protests against this misinformation and demands Time
Magazine at least apology on the front page of next week issue. We
also ask you to withdraw the copies from the retailers.
Although the DVD is not made by Time Magazine, we hold Time Magazine
responsible for this very unwanted present.
Waiting for your reaction.
Yours sincerely,
M. Hakhverdian (Federation of Armenian Organisations in the Netherlands)
