Turkish film-makers have decided to produce a movie featuring the
genocides of Armenians and Greeks in the World War I period.
According to Akunq.net, a website covering the latest developments
on Western Armenian communities, a central character in the film is
Topal Osman, a Trurkish man who was among the perpetrators of the
Armenian and Pontic Greek massacres.
The film shooting, which reportedly costs 2 million Turkish Liras
(approx. $1 million), will begin on November 4. The actors' team
includes 30 people.
Osman, who ruled a gang until 1914, was recruited by the senior staff
of Turkish special agencies to plot the genocide against Armenians. He
was responsible from clearing the Black Sea region from the Armenian
population. With his gang of man-slaughterers freed from jail,
he took part in the displacement of people from Ardvin, killing
numerous Armenians.
In 1919, already wanted by the Istanbul Military Tribunal, Osman met
with Mustafa Kemal. After the meeting, the Sultan Vahdettin annulled
the decree to arrest him. Osman later became a member of a national
rights protection organization (Muhafaza-i Hukuk-u Milliye Cemiyeti).
He succeeded in his efforts to suppress anti-Kemalist figures and
clear the Black Sea region from Greeks. Osman subjected Pontic Greeks
to hellish torments and tortures, burying them alive in graves they
had been forced to dig or burning their bodies in boat steamers or
skinning them.
