Please Vote "NO" against the panel of Turkish Genocide Deniers

[ABC]

Below is a copy of an email I received from Armenian Professional Society. Please vote "No" and encourage your friends to vote! Thank you!


Dear Friends,

MSNBC has started a new survey on the PBS panel on the Armenian
Genocide.

Please click below and vote NO.
The Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA) has sent e-
mails to thousands of Turks asking them vote for the panel. As of
now, 55% of the voters have voted for the panel.

Please vote NO and forward this message to everyone on your e-mail
list.

Thanks

I'm not surprised the poll on MSNBC is 'Yes' favoring the panel discussion.

NBC or MSNBC, or some affiliate close to NBC, has a station in Turkey if I am not mistaken. I forget the name. Of course they will "adjust" the polls.

Actually, we got a lot of publicity because of this panel discussion issue. We would have never had this much attention in our normal yearly protests.

I hope there are a lot more of this in the upcoming years. The deniers make themselves look stupid.

Have any of you seen the actual discussion? I saw it. That fat ass McCarthy looks like a drunk fool and doesn't even make sense. I wouldn't be surprised if he had alcohol on his breath. And the other Turkish guy I forgot the name admitted 2 million Armenians were killed and tried to take back his comment. Morons.

It appears that the Turks are prevailing on the poll. I think we should have the poll removed altogether by contacting msnbc. You can contact them by clicking on the link below. Charles Tillinghast is a publisher and a president of msnbc. So, I addressed my letter to him. Below is a copy of an email I sent him this morning. It's no masterpiece, but it's better than nothing; so feel free to use it.

Here is a link to contact MSNBC (by letter/email):

Here is their email address: [email protected]



Dear Mr. Tillinghast:

I am writing to you in regards to the poll posted on your website whether PBS should have commissioned a panel discussion on its documentary about Turkish-Armenian history. PBS chose to remove the panel of genocide deniers because Armenian genocide of 1915 is a historical fact recognized by over a dozen of European countries. There are volumes of documentary evidence, photographs and eyewitness testimony from the U.S. ambassadors of 1915 and the genocide survivors. Over a million of Armenians have been systematically killed through murder and starvation by the Ottoman government (present day Turkey) in 1915.

April 24 is the day when Armenians around the world commemorate the memory of genocide victims. On April 24th of 1915, the Turkish government began its heinous plan of systematic killing of its Christian Armenian population by executing over 200 of Armenians intellectuals. Subsequently, they began a planned extermination of the Armenian population from its historic homeland.

The fact that you have chosen the month of April to host your poll is hurtful and offensive, to say the least, to the memory of over a million of genocide victims. On behalf of the Armenian community and in honor of the genocide victims, I respectfully ask you to remove the poll.

Sincerely,

[ABC]

No, I haven't seen the panel. Good to hear that they sound like morons. Sooner or later, we will prevail.

I found a video someone posted online, it's low quality and cuts off in the middle, if I find a better video I will post another link. If anyone wants to see part of the panel discussion:

Also, I found the Turkey NBC I was mentioning. It's NTVMSNBC - www.ntvmsnbc.com - So I don't expect fairness from NBC when it comes to Armenian Genocide topics.

Re: Please Vote "NO" against the panel of Turkish Genocide Deniers

But, wait. PBS already aired the documentary, sans the denial panel. What good will voting here do? It's not as though it is asking if IT should allow the panel.

Re: Please Vote "NO" against the panel of Turkish Genocide Deniers

Actually, a lot of PBS stations did air the documentary and/or panel discussion. Not the same in all areas. The poll just shows how people feel about this issue, even though it doesn't make a difference. PBS wasn't going to act based on a MSNBC poll anyway.
