Armenian Genocide on CBC radio ONE on Sunday Feb. 6
Ottawa, Friday, February 04, 2005 - The Armenian Cultural Foundation
in Ottawa has learned from a reliable source, and is pleased to
announce that CBC Radio One, will interview Prof. Taner Akcam on its
weekly program: the Sunday Edition on February 6, 2005.
The interview has been prompted by the publication in "The Literary
Review of Canada (LRC)" of a powerful book review on the Armenian
Genocide and the Turkish Government's policy of denial. The review,
by David Warner, is of Turkish historian Taner Akcam's book "From
Empire to Republic: Turkish Nationalism and the Armenian Genocide."
The review, spreads over two oversized pages, and is titled "History
Denied: A brave Turkish historian calls it the Armenian genocide. Are
his fellow citizens listening?" It is featured prominently on the
Jan/Feb cover of the LRC magazine in form of cover lines and an
illustration.
CBC Radio One program, "The Sunday Edition" will interview Prof. Akcam
on Feb 6, 2005. The Sunday Edition is a lively three-hour program of
conversation, documentaries and music. Michael Enright, an
accomplished and famous Canadian journalist and broadcaster, is the
host and tackles everything from politics to pop culture, in Canada
and around the world. Michael Enright is one of the most respected
journalists in Canada. He thrives on debate and ideas and each program
begins with his own thoughts. He has already interviewed twice, very
favorably, on his program Canadian Soprano, Isabel Bayrakdarian.
The Sunday Edition regularly airs on: CBC Radio One Sundays,
9:11a.m.-12:00 p.m.
