Dear Sir / Ms :
I understand that you have prepared a program misleadingly entitled
"Armenian Genocide" which is to be aired on TV Ontario's (TVO) Human
Edge show
on the dates of April 24, 2006 and April 25, 2006. This title itself is
part of a sophisticated attempt to legitimize a false claim against the Turks
by way of disinformation. By advertising such a bogus "title"
for a contentious issue, TVO is not only participating in a "lie"
campaign generated by Armenian diaspora against the Turks, but also contributing
to anti-Turkish hate literature. I am not sure that this is your intention or
your assignment at TV Ontario. Obviously TVO is taking sides with the
Armenians in a matter about which TVO, most likely, has no researched knowledge
other than what has been fed to the media by the Armenian lie machine that
continuously generates anti-Turkish propaganda. It is an untruthful but clever
trick to concoct such an unfactual title for events that Armenians planned,
started and committed against the Turks some 90 plus years ago. The planners
of Human Edge at TVO are displaying their
prejudice against the Turks. They know very well that such a provocative and
sophisticated title sticks in the mind of the viewer irrespective of whether
the subject represents the truth or not. Just like the Armenians, TVO is
playing games with words, hence contributing and hoping to establish a
falsehood as the truth. It is a known fact that when a lie is repeated
over and over again, it achieves its intended purpose - because the repeated
lies have the unfortunate tendency of becoming "truth" in the minds
of people. This TVO presentation is unacceptable one-sidedness in an alleged
matter that is deliberately claimed as a "genocide". In this regard,
not only is the title "Armenian Genocide" dishonest, unwarranted and
unacceptable, but so is your showing a one sided tale that is embellished by
some skillful movie makers supporting the Armenian view.
The fact is that it was the innocent Turks in many parts of Anatolia and Azerbaijan
that were massacred by the fully organized Armenians who wanted to steal
Turkish lands. In their terrorism, my grandfather from my mother-side,
his three brothers and sixty five other men of the same village were massacred
in one night by the Armenian terrorists. Thus at a very young age my
mother was left an orphan and my grandmother was left without her loved ones.
After the Armenians did their well-planned and well-executed killings of
the Turks without achieving what they had hoped to achieve, they, with the help
of their external counsellors, simply turned the tables around and accused the
Turks of wrongdoings. This is a known ACCUSE-THE-VICTIM propaganda trick
used by those who planned and perpetrated the events themselves. Armenian
villification of the victimized Turks is a cunning way for the Armenians to
avoid being accused of the crimes that they themselves committed. The
Armenians have been caught many times using bogus pictures, fraudulent
documents and fabricated stories to promote their alleged claims. Somehow
though, their friends conveniently turn a blind eye to all this. Judging
by the title that TVO is using for this program, TVO is not a neutral mediator
in spite of the fact that they claim "host -- award-winning
journalist/broadcaster Ian Brown -- is to present his own points-of-view, which
may not necessarily be those of TVOntario". Somebody's
"award-winning" activities in some other unrelated areas has nothing
to do with the issue at hand - nor does it add any credibility to the claim.
In spite of all this, TVO is not shying away from damning the Turks
with such a carefully-selected judgemental title. TVO should drop its
anti-Turkish attitude, admit their one-sidedness, and then apologize to the
Turks.
Sincerely yours,
Polat Kaya

The Armenian Genocide
Monday, April 17 - 12:03 AM
Andrew Goldberg, an Emmy Award-winning director, seeks out Armenian, Turkish,
and American scholars to help explain the political, historical, and cultural
conditions behind this event, and explore its aftermath. Julianna Margulies
narrates; Orlando Bloom, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, and Natalie Portman also lend
their voices.
North American Premiere. A film by Andrew Goldberg.
Human Edge, now in its 17th season, is well known for its tradition of
provocative, point-of-view documentaries. Each documentary represents an
individual filmmaker's vision of the world, and as such, can touch on highly
controversial subjects.
In keeping with the personal perspective of Human Edge, the role of
its host -- award-winning journalist/broadcaster Ian Brown -- is to present his
own points-of-view, which may not necessarily be those of TVOntario.
