According to the Turkish newspaper “Sabah” were made for filming in studio two cities that resemble the cities of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. The film “Karavan 1915” has a large budget. But the director refused to give the name of its main sponsor (probably the Turkish state …). 300 players -including some very connus- take part in the shooting. İsmail Güneþ also claims he does not by his movie to prove whether there was genocide or not. He says to stage the story of a caravan of 200 deported Armenians who are moving to Kerisan to Aleppo. Obviously the Turks who “protect” Armenians in the road of deportation have the spotlight … The film will hit theaters in 2016.
