Turkey up in arms against Mel Gibson
as he plans a film on the Armenian genocide.
Cathcon translation.
An ultra-nationalistic Turkish group is seeking to stop a Mel Gibson film about the genocide of the Armenians with an e-mail campaign, the Turkish newspaper "Zaman" reported on Tuesday in its internet edition. The man behind the campaign is the historian Savas Egilmez who teaches in Erzurum. The genocide of the Armenians between 1914 and 1915 was bureaucratically planned by the "Committee for Unity and Progress (Ittihad ve Terakki) of the then Imperial Ottoman government. A "Special Organization" (Teskilat-i-Mahsusa) was founded which is seen by some historians as a model of the German SS. The "Special Organization" was responsible for many of the approximately 1.5 million victims of the genocide.
