The Turkish Grand National Assembly’s committee on “Armenian Genocide allegations” has conducted a special meeting to consider counter-measures to the Armenian Diaspora’s genocide centennial preparation events.
Referring to the Armenian lobby’s plans to produce a movie starring Allain Delon, the committee’s members decided to undertake a similar initiative on their own part. Haberturk reports that they agreed to launch the production of a film entitled, Our Heart’s Wound.
Opposition lawmaker Sinan Ohan said the movie’s title is unrelated to the Armenian issue. “It reminds of a love film,” he told the parliament members.
American film director Steve Spielberg has already received the Armenian lobby’s proposal to produce the film, The Wounded, says the publication.
According to the Turkish media, Delon will portray Komitas, the great Armenian composer Komitas (1869-1935) who experienced a serious mental breakdown in the wake of Genocide.
Dustin Hofman is also expected to play in the movie. The author of the music will be the popular US-Armenian rock musician Serj Tankian.
