Hayk Demoyan: we will remind Obama that U.S. history is linked to Armenian Genocide
The first-ever film about the Armenian Genocide, The Auction of Souls, was shot 90 years ago.
"The film was shot by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and was screened in Plaza Hotel in New York in 1918. We are negotiating with the Armenian community in the U.S. to screen the film in this hotel again," Hayk Demoyan, director of the Armenian Genocide museum, told a news conference today.
He also reminded that Near East Relief philanthropic organization, which rendered a $118-million assistance to Armenians during the massacre, will mark its 90th anniversary in 2009.
"Marking these dates we will remind U.S. President-elect barrack Barack Obama that the U.S. history is linked to the Armenian Genocide," Mr. Demoyan said.
