gamavor Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Time Magazine Distributes CDs On Turkish-Armenian Relations To Its Subscribers Turkish Press June 1 2005 ANKARA (AA) - The Time Magazine, one of the leading news magazines in the United States, distributed CDs of Turkish documentary about Turkish-Armenian relations to its 494 thousand subscribers in Europe. Holding a news conference on Wednesday, Ankara Chamber of Commerce (ATO) Chairman Sinan Aygun said, "with the sponsorship of ATO, a documentary film was shot about Turkish-Armenian relations in the past. CDs of the documentary 'Blonde Bride' was distributed by the Time Magazine to 494 thousand people in Europe." "The project's target is not to reply to allegations of Armenians but to give appropriate information about both history of Turkish-Armenian relations and the Armenian issue. We aim to prevent distortion of historical events," he said. Noting that the CDs are prepared in Turkish, Russian, English, German, French, Spanish and Arabic languages, Aygun added that the CDs also included information about Istanbul, Turkey and regions in Turkey and backstage of documentary. PS: I'm very curious about the content of this CD. I have no doubt that it is propaganda. I would love to see Time Magazine representatives in the court room!

gamavor Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) while we spend countless $$$$$$ bulding churches (next to another church) that money could very well serv for this kind of a war I agree! Out of 1250 Armenian Churches and Cathedrals in so-called Turkey only 12 survived. I don't even think that spending money for lobbing is a good idea. Instead of spending millions to make some pompous US senator to utter the truth, the Armenian Diaspora should spend these money and many more on improvement of Republic of Armenia, no matter how difficult that is, given the current circumstances.

ED Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Gams, I was referring to current times, those churches Turkey suffered the same fait as there builders, and I’m more referring to Diaspora and ROA. Think about it, we spend so much energy and effort in Washington well knowing that the president won’t mention the AG, and he never does, instead we can spend our resources exactly what they have done in similar scenarios.

I never thought that TIME could sink that low!!! We are subscribed to TIME (have been since 1999), just received it today and read through most of it already. Gamavor, do you know if they distributed for free? (Why the hell am I asking, most likely yes.) Also, how come only to 494 thousand subscribers? Isn't the number of subscibers in Europe much higher?

Z'areh Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Warfare comes in many forms, and this one, if true (concidering the source) is an effective weapon. We are one step behind, and two steps backwards when it comes to propaganda. We keep thinking that it is only arms and a strong army alone will guaranty our future and seem to be letting the more effective war -the war on public opinion-slip by. e.g. What did we do to eploit the Justice Minister's "stab in the back" remarks, or Azerbaijan's continuous human rights violations, or the Georgian's takeover of Armenian churchs, the list is long and we are waiting for I don't know what!!!!

DominO123 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) Can one of our European members try and get a hold of this CD? style_images/master/snapback.png I am pretty sure that it is the same, or a modified CD, as the one produced by the Turkish foreign ministry stuff, 2 years or so ago, the one Steve was talking about. It was a multi-langual CD. I doubt they would have produced a multi-langual entirly for Times publicity, I know those in the government are a little bit insane, but not that insane. BTW, there is nothing new here, they pied publicity, like publicities published in magazines. I think though it was an abuses of the system, by pretending it to be a promotion of Turkey as a vacation destination or something such, and this should be highlined when contacting the Times so that it mails to its users regarding the CD, and how they do in no way endorce the information.

gamavor Posted June 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Turkey is just using the credibility of the Times to make publicity at our expense! Now, go get Time's webpage and tell them that they are lying American son of bor*igs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom22 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) Get a copy of the CD, have a diverse number of eminent scholars analyze it and produce a CD to refute any distorted claims. ...And who runs Time Warner? Who made this decision? Follow the money trail and find out the facts, then disseminate these facts.

Verginne Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Time to contact TIME and tell them equal time, next they need to do the same with Nazi speeches, Hitler speeches since they are glorifying GARBAGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
