The screening of the “Ararat” film, the one made by the famous Canadian film-maker of Armenian origin Atom Ernekian, at the Cannes festival was the cause of the violent indignation of Turkish leadership. As “Arminfo” agency has stated, the Turkish culture minister condemned the film screening. According to him, “the propaganda film is aggressive in its content and makes the Armenian-Turkish relations more difficult”. “It is inadmissible to use film scope for the distortion of the historic truth and to rouse hostile emotions of the two peoples”, stated the minister. According to Turkish media, Turkish State minister Karakoyunlu stated his protest against the film screening too. According to him, “this is another evident of the anti-Turkish campaign carried out by Armenians”. It should be reminded, the Turkish embassy in France made a statement with sorrows that “the mixture of the reality and fantasy turns the art to a propaganda tool that causes anti-Turkish hatred the same way as the American film-maker Allan Parker’s film “Midnight express” did in its time”.
