PBS HOPES THAT ITS PROGRAM ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE WILL HELP AMERICAN
PUBLIC WILL GAIN A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS EVENT
Yerevan, April 14. ArmInfo. Our sincere hope is that the American
public will gain a greater understanding of these important events in
world history, Jan McNamara, PBS Corporate Communications Director,
says in an interview to ArmInfo speaking about THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
documentary film and the follow-up panel, THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE:
EXPLORING THE ISSUES to be telecast on PBS Apr 17.
It is part of the mission of public television to engender responsible
discussion and illuminate complex issues.
We have received numerous messages from across the country protesting
and praising THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE and the follow-up panel, THE
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: EXPLORING THE ISSUES. We are committed to offering
both programs, which we sincerely hope will help more Americans
understand this important chapter in world history. Both programs were
fed last month to PBS stations.
The final decision about what programs air in a specific market are
made individually by local stations. Implicit in PBS' decision to
accept THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE for distribution is its recognition that
the overwhelming majority of historians have concluded that a genocide
took place.
