The Arevelk.am site reports that according to some information the broadcast company of the film “The Promise” for the Middle East, following the great pressures of Turkey would have canceled the diffusion of the film of Terry George on the genocide of the Armenians in many Arab countries of the Middle East. According to the same sources, the distribution of the film “The Promise” will simply be canceled in Egypt, Kuwait and Bahrain, while in Qatar the film will be broadcast with cuts. In Lebanon, the Turkish Embassy in Beirut also put pressure on the broadcaster of the film “The Promise” to cut large passages. But the broadcaster for Lebanon did not yield to this Turkish pressure and the film “The Promise” will continue to be broadcast without the slightest cut.
