Letter from Edgar Hagopian to Creator of PBS Documentary
cc: National Listserve
Dear Andrew,
Thank you for an outstanding documentary. Unquestionably the best documentary on the Armenian Genocide I have seen.
I would like to point out to those anti-Semites in the Armenian community your Jewish heritage.
In addition, Atom Egoyan's award winning film "Ararat" was produced by Robert Lantos another Jew. Finally, the distribution and promotion of the film "Ararat" was by another Jew, Harry Weinstein, the founder of Miramax Films, after MGM turned down Mr. Egoyan claiming the film would not be profitable.
Below is the url for an article by Harut Sassounian explaining Mr. Weinstein's reasoning and explanation for his support.
I know that the majority of Armenians and Jews in the Diaspora express a kinship with each other. Unfortunately, because of Israel's relationship with Turkey, there are those in our community that can't separate the issues.
The Armenians and the Jews have much in common. Thank you for strengthening this bond.
With sincere respect and appreciation.
