Unlike the accusatorial films and publications by Armenian activists, it is not a propaganda film. It is based solely on documentary evidence, including much uncovered in the Russian archives. It includes film clips from Eastern Anatolia in 1982 that have never been shown publicly. These clips recently came to the possession of the director who has included them in this latest work. This has enabled him to bring to life the memories of individuals who lived through the tragic events of 1915.<br \/>\nThe documentary clearly demonstrates that the claims of genocide from Armenian activists lack credibility, especially in the light of so much conflicting evidence. Important new Armenian sources, obtained from Russian archives, reveal what actually happened during this tragic period, and these are significant and important aspects of this work. Its aim is to put an end to any confusion in this subject.<br \/>\n\u201cThe 1915 Documentary\u201d opens a startlingly new window into events at the time drawing on Armenian sources available in the Russian Archives, as the Armenian archives are still not open to public. This new knowledge is based primarily on the work of Mehmet Perin\u00e7ek who has researched Russian State archives since 1988.<br \/>\nThe documentary also contains interviews with many prominent historians who have done extensive research into Ottoman \u2013 Armenian history. Professor Dr Justin McCarthy, Professor Dr Heath Lowry and Professor Norman Stone are some of these academics. There are also several interviews with members of the Turkish-Armenian clergy.<br \/>\nThis film is essential viewing for anyone interested in the truth about the events of 1915.<br \/>\nPersonal information:<br \/>\nSerhan Koc, Film Director was born in \u0130stanbul in 1976.
