Shekhar Kapur to make film on Armenian genocide? (Movie Snippets)
Monday Oct 15, 2012

Shekhar Kapur attends the ScreenSingapore press conference during the
64th Annual Cannes Film Festival at the Carlton Hotel on May 16, 2011
in Cannes, France.

Mumbai, Oct 15 – Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says he might be tempted to
make a movie on the 1915 Armenian genocide.

“Going to Yeravan (capital of Armenia). Is there an Armenian community
in India? Going to Armenia to study massacre of Armenians in 1915 and
perhaps make a film on it later,” tweeted Kapur.

The Armenian genocide (1915-23) saw the Ottoman regime systematically
exterminating its minority Armenian subjects from their traditional
homeland in the territory constituting the present-day Turkey.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
