YEREVAN (YERKIR) - The private Turkish TV channel Canal Turk will air on April 13 Atom Egoyan's "Ararat," a film on making a movie on the Armenian Genocide, Noyan Tapan reported, citing Radio Liberty.
A spokesman for the TV channel said on April 12 that the film will be shown "without cuts or censoring," adding that the decision to air the film was made after a poll revealed 72 percent of the viewers wanted to see it.
As reported by the AFP, the Turkish government has decided to not prevent the screening of the film. An Istanbul company was forced in 2004 to drop plans to screen the movie because of potential protests that would have required police presence in theaters.
