The Canadian TV channel SUN has devoted one of its programs to the
Armenian Genocide.
Armenian activist and Genocide recognition advocate Jerry Tutunjyan
was the guest of the popular TV show “Arena with Michael Coren”.
At the beginning, the host briefly introduced the history of the
Armenian massacres, saying that more than 1 million Armenians
were slaughtered by the Turks between 1915-22. He emphasized that
the attempted Genocide is still officially denied by the Turkish
government.
Tutunjyan provided further details on the Armenian Genocide,
elaborating on its international recognition and Turkey’s denial
policy. He said the Turkish authorities misrepresent the facts relating
to the Genocide, jailing public figures and journalist who attempt
to voice the issue. He stressed that such policies infringe freedom
of speech in the country.
