Turkish official don't mind demonstration of `Skylark's farm'
How could Turkey speak about cultural dialogue between Turkey and
Armenia, when `Skylark's farm' by Taviani brothers is banned in
Turkey, and Egoyan told `Ararat' was performed after some deep
movements?
Assistant of the Culture and tourism minister of Turkey Ismet Elmaz
was asked on 17 September by a group of Armenian reporters. Turkish
official said he had never watched that film but he could imagine its
concept - `it's about Armenians' exile in 1915.'
Turkish official said `similar films may never do any good to the
improvement of the bilateral ties.'
`When I hear history of Armenian people, I think of that very period.
I would never protest its demonstration. And some different films
demonstrating the exaggeration of those would be welcomed as well,'
Turkish official said.
Talking about the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border, Turkish
diplomat said: `The day will come and the border will be opened. I
wish the ties come developed and the border will be opened.'
