    WHY 'THE 40 DAYS OF MUSA DAGH' WAS NOT ON SCREEN
    Jean Eckian, Paris

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    American director Edwin Avaness presents a documentary film project
    about the interferences of Turkish state in the United States to
    impede the production of the film, based on the book by Franz Werfel,
    The 40 Days of Musa Dagh.

    In 2006, actor Sylvester Stallone had expressed a desire to direct a
    film from the novel. But following a campaign by the powerful Turkish
    association ASIMED, Stallone had to give, besides as did Mel Gibson
    in 2009.

    In France, Henri Verneuil himself had tried to edit the film. For
    this exceptional project of universal historic significance, the
    designer and director Edwin Avaness needs the financial support of
    the community to complete which is the first demonstration of the
    Turkish state denial.

    The names of generous donors will be credited to the screen. The funds
    will be collected by the association, nonprofit, Friends of Armenian
    Cultural Treasures.
