    Film on Armenian Revolt to BeScreened at U.S. Congress


    Friday, 23 July 2010

    A film on the Armenian revolt will be screened at the U.S. Congress on July 28.

    The Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA) decided to host a
    screening of the film "The Armenian Revolt" at the U.S. Congress on
    July 28.

    "The Armenian Revolt" is regarding the armed Armenian Independence
    Movement (1880-1919) which sought to create a politically, ethnically,
    and religiously homogenous Armenian state in the eastern region of the
    Ottoman Empire, and failed.

    The ATAA move came after a documentary film, "Aghet: A Genocide",
    about Armenian allegations regarding the incidents of 1915 was
    screened at Rayburn House Office Building.

    Bruce Fein, a legal adviser to former U.S. president Ronald Reagan,
    will provide opening remarks.

    "The Armenian Revolt", which appeared on Bloomington PBS, takes a look
    at WWI designs for the Caucasus.

    The producer of the film, Marty Callaghan, is a war documentarian, who
    recently produced, "Blood, Sand and Oil" regarding World War I in the
    Middle East and Allied use of micronationalism from the Caucasus to
    the Arabian Peninsula to destroy the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural
    Ottoman Empire, and replace it with states servile to western empires.

    ATAA is a fast-growing umbrella organization of Turkish American
    associations throughout the United States, Canada and Turkey,
    dedicated to pursuing the interests of Turkish Americans and friends
    of Turkey in Washington and beyond.
