PETITION AGAINST ONE-SIDED PORTRAYAL OF HISTORICAL EVENTS |
Please enter your Full Name and City / Province.
To: Mr. Rudy Buttignol, Creative Head – TVOShowing the film “Armenian Genocide” on public TV caters to the wishes of some Armenian organizations to label their suffering as ‘genocide’, while completely ignoring the historically documented death of hundreds of thousands of Turks and other Moslems at the hands of the Armenian Revolutionary Bands during the First World War. As Canadians of Turkish origin, we are very disappointed that our Provincial Public Educational Television Network decided to air this film, portraying only the one side of a complex and controversial history, while ignoring the other.
In the interest of fairness, equality and balanced journalism we, the undersigned, ask TV Ontario to reconsider showing this film in its program “Human Edge”. We urge TV Ontario, instead, to organize a debate on this sensitive and controversial topic where representatives of the Canadians of Turkish origin in Ontario and the Armenian community are both invited.
Sincerely,
The PETITION AGAINST ONE-SIDED PORTRAYAL OF HISTORICAL EVENTS Petition to Mr. Rudy Buttignol, Creative Head – TVO was created by The Federation of Canadian Turkish Associations and written by Demir Delen (demirdelenca@yahoo.ca).
