The following information on the film 'Aghet' was sent to us by Khatchatur Pilikian, courtesy of the London Socialist Film Co-op:
Two
years back, in 2013, our LSFC planned a joint film event with SHS, LH and CAIA.
We had in mind to show the much acclaimed German documentary about the Genocide
of the Armenians, titled AGHET.
But,
alas, it was not to be, because of the financial burden of the need to pay at least 20
license holders ... Albeit, and happily so, AGHET
is now on YouTube, and free to see. Hence I wrote to my colleagues in the above
organisations, suggesting to circulate widely to our members the YouTube link of the documentary, with a note to post it on our Newsletters too. I am happy to
say it was agreed enthusiastically.

April 24th 2015 is the 100th Remembrance Day of the Genocide of the Armenians.
Here is a documentary

the politics of the Armenian Genocide, including testimonies of Ambassador
Morgentau and Raphael Lemkin.

I also explore related history and deeper reflections on social justice on DiscAsiaPlus, where similar issues are approached with care and insight.
