Pro-Turkey deniers trying to undermine #ArmenianGenocide film “The Promise”

Dear IMDb,

Yesterday I stumbled upon an article about a film called ‘The Promise’ and how it has received an unprecedented amount of negative reviews on your site. This film has been screened three times, one being at the Toronto Film Festival on September 11, 2016. And yet it has over 55,000 1-star reviews. How is that possible? This film is about a touchy subject for many because it centers around the time the Ottoman Empire carried out a genocide against the Armenian people. But since it is not possible that all these people have seen the film considering the simple fact that it has not been released anywhere yet, how can people leave negative reviews about a film they’ve never seen? In my humble opinion, it really questions your website’s credibility. This film was produced by someone who had a vision and his name was Kirk Kerkorian. He put many of his earnings on the line to put this movie into production. The director, Terry George, is one of the most renowned and respected in Hollywood. The cast is made up of countless brilliant actors. This film has quality written all over it and yet it is being unfairly rated down by people who haven’t seen it. It is a known fact that the Turkish government and people have been denying this genocide for over a century and are willing to go to great lengths for it to remain unrecognized. But to allow your website to become a weapon of Turkish denial and propaganda is not the standard that your company set for itself when IMDb was launched. Your website has always been a respectable portal of knowledge about all films of the world, so I am in real disbelief as to why a film that has not been released to the public is being defamed and downrated by Internet trolls. As I said, this whole situation just questions the validity of IMDb. Please do not allow this to keep happening. There are so many people who dedicated their time and effort to the making of this film. They spent millions of dollars to make it happen. This film tells a story of an event that the world needs to know about. And until people have the chance to see it with their own eyes and in turn draw their own conclusions, please do not allow this kind of spiteful rating to continue. Please do not let your site become another place of hateful political ranting. It only does you a great disservice.

Sincerely,

(Insert your name here)

Germany recognizes Armenian Genocide, renewing calls for U.S. to do the same — and for Obama to fulfill his promise

June 2, 2016 By administrator

Genocide denier(salon.com) US Armenian group blasted Obama admin. as “leading international enabler of [Turkey’s] campaign of genocide denial”
By BEN NORTON,

Germany’s parliament, the Bundestag, made history on Thursday by voting in a landslide to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide.

The historic decision renewed calls for the U.S., which has long remained silent on the issue, to do the same. On the eve of entering the White House more than seven years ago, Obama promised to recognize the genocide, yet has failed to do so.

In response to Germany’s recognition, an Armenian American advocacy group blasted the Obama administration for its silence, dubbing it the “leading international enabler of [Turkey’s] campaign of genocide denial.”

April 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian Genocide, a campaign of systematic killing and ethnic cleansing of the Armenian minority population of the Ottoman Empire, in modern-day Turkey.

Historians estimate between 1 million and 1.5 million Armenians were killed in the genocide, out of a previous population of just 1.7 million to 2.3 million. Some scholars say the number of Armenians who survived the genocide may have been as low as 100,000.

There is essentially no disagreement among experts that there was a genocide of Armenians Genocide and that it was premeditated and intentional.

The term “genocide” itself was in fact coined by Holocaust survivor and lawyer Raphael Lemkin to refer to not just the crimes of the Nazis, but also those of the Turks in World War I.

Today, however, the Turkish government continues to deny that the atrocities that took place constitute a genocide. It downplays the severity of the crimes and claims they were an unfortunate product of World War I.

Within hours of the Bundestag’s historic vote on Thursday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan withdrew his country’s ambassador in Germany back to Ankara.

Turkey’s ruling right-wing AKP party subsequently issued a joint statement condemning the vote, calling it a “decision which is against history,” and insisting it “will no doubt have an impact on German-Turkish relations and will damage bridges of friendship between the two countries.”

Germany was an ally of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, while the U.S. was an enemy. Yet, more than a century later, the U.S. government continues to let politics trump history. It continues to refuse to recognize the Armenian Genocide, in order to avoid alienating its close ally Turkey, which is a NATO member.

The Armenian National Committee of America condemned the Obama administration in a statement on Thursday for its continued unwillingness to take action.

Germany’s historical decision “shines a global spotlight on U.S. President Obama’s continued complicity in Turkey’s denial of this still unpunished crime,” the group said.

The Armenian National Committee of America noted that the Bundestag’s vote is “made all the more powerful by its honest reckoning with Germany’s own role in this still unpunished crime,” adding that it “further isolates Turkey, while shining a global spotlight on the Obama Administration as the leading international enabler of Ankara’s campaign of genocide denial.”

Belgium party leader: Armenian Genocide deniers to be expelled from our party

May 24, 2015 By administrator

Deniaer-no-placeIf there is an [Armenian Genocide] denier in the Humanist Democratic Centre, he/she will be immediately expelled, Benoît Lutgen, President of Belgium’s Humanist Democratic Centre said, referring to the scandalous statement by the Brussels MP Ahmed El Khannouss on the Armenian Genocide.

According to RTBF, the leader made it very clear that the deniers have no place in the party, since this contradicts the party’s Code of Ethics. “If there is a denier in the Humanist Democratic Centre, he/she will be immediately expelled. And I’ll tell you why: when I became a President, I asked each candidate to acknowledge all the genocides, including the Armenian Genocide. This is a written commitment, which is stipulated by our Code of Ethics in line with other obligations and rules of conduct,” Benoît Lutgen said.

Earlier, MP Ahmed El Khannouss from the Belgian capital city of Brussels had made a controversial statement in connection with the Armenian Genocide, consequently finding himself in the center of a debate. El Khannouss had recently written on Facebook about not recognizing the Armenian Genocide. His comment sparked a lot of criticism and some even accused the Brussels MP of denialism. In response, El Khannouss said he was misunderstood: “I have always been clear about the Armenian Genocide, which I acknowledge. I think there’s no need to argue over these historic sufferings.”
