In response to the CBS 60 Minutes broadcast of "Battle Over History",
a program that delved into the history of the 1915 Genocide, two
Turkish organizations have sent protest letters to CBS executives.
The Federation of Turkish-American Associations and the Assembly of
Turkish-American Associations have also launched a letter writing
and e-mail campaign to display their displeasure with the CBS program
that featured Peter Balakian on a visit to Deir ez-Zor, the last stop
for thousands of Armenians on forced death marches, described in the
piece as ‘the biggest Armenian graveyard".
