The demand of the International Hrant Dink Foundation to stop the presentation of a documentary movie about the 1915 events in schools was rejected by a local administrative court last month, Historyoftruth.com reports quoting Hurriyet Daily News.
The movie titled “Blonde Bride – The Inner Face of the Armenian Problem Documentary” prepared by the Turkish General Staff was distributed to education institutions as a supplementary education material to schools on June 19, 2008.
The International Hrant Dink Foundation sued the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of Education, saying the DVD’s content did not comply with the goals of education, which are fostering a culture of democracy, tolerance and responsibility.
With the decision it made on June 25, 2010, the 9th Istanbul Administrative Court rejected the demand, ruling that there was no definite process that needed to be conducted on the matter.
The Blonde Bride Documentary advocating the Turkish thesis against the Armenian genocide allegations narrated how Armenian gangs killed and tortured people and set fires after raiding Turkish villages, according to the daily Radikal.
Shot by director İsmail Umaç, the documentary was prepared after conducting a detailed study in 15 national research centers and research in the archives of 11 countries abroad, as well as the acquisition of 10 thousand archival documents, according to the official website of the Blonde Bride Documentary.
