My Century-Armenia's
Tragedy
Rosa Khedirian
was an infant in 1915 when the Turks murdered her parents and many others in
the Armenian community living in Turkey. Her life was spared, but the Turks
thrust her hand into an open fire leaving her terribly mutilated and with a
constant reminder of the day she was orphaned. Despite the trauma she has
suffered, Rosa bears little bitterness towards the people who so brutally
altered the course of her life. Their punishment, she says, will come from
God.
BBC - Tees Films - Ararat
In 1915, the
Turks deported and massacred nearly a million Armenians, a genocide which
has never been admitted by the Turkish authorities. It's this
often-overlooked holocaust, and its impact on generations of Armenians,
which inspired Atom Egoyan's labyrinthine "Ararat".
