Turkish Radikal has interviewed Canadian Armenian actress Arsine
Khanjyan, who is well known for wider circles of society from Ararat
movie directed by her husband Atom Egoyan and dedicated to the 1915
Armenian Genocide.
In an interview entitled The World Knows what Happened in 1915 Arsine
says it is her first trip to Turkey and clarifies that she arrived
as an Armenian who has arrived to his/her ancient homeland.
The actress claims that for already 100 years the 80-million Turkish
population knows its own history wrong, and it is a disaster.
Speaking about personal disaster, Khanjyan says from the early age she
"tolerated loss". She said her mother was from Erzurum, father from
Diyarbakir. Her grandma escaped from Turks after losing all her family.
The actress also speaks about Lebanese Armenian community. Arsine
was born in Beirut and moved to Canada during civil war in Lebanon.
Arsine also tells in details about the Armenian roots of her husband,
film director Atom Egoyan. She also speaks about their joint work
Ararat.
In the interview the actress claimed that Turkey's policy of denial
does not change anything as everyone knows what has happened. "Even
Turks and you," she said addressing the reporter taking the interview.
Arsine also said she can't imagine how a state can reject its own
history and live without past as it is impossible to build future
without it or based on false history.
