ANTI-ARMENIAN PROPAGANDA ON RUSSIAN TELEVISION
The Russian Culture TV channel broadcasted on June 11 the program
"History of facts" dwelling on the history of Turkey, its relations
with Russia, similarities between both countries and other issues. It
was justly noted that Russia and Turkey have never been opponents,
more, since the beginning of 20th century, these countries have
been allies.
The program dwelt also on the Armenian genocide. Guest of the program
Mikhail Meyer, Head of the Asian-African Studies Center at Moscow
State University, historian and Turkologist, actually carried out
anti-Armenian propaganda mutating the 1915 events.
In particular, Meyer said that the events are presented as if Muslims
are to blame, while Christians that is Armenians, are the victims. In
reality, the massacre was carried out by both sides, he said.
According to the scientist, during the genocide many fewer people
died. Only 1.5 million Armenian used to live there, some of them
survived, so how could 1.5 million die? Many starved to death like
during Stalin deportations, he said.
Note Culture is a state channel, while Russian State Duma recognized
the Armenian genocide in 1995.
