Istanbul administrative court rejected the demand of the International Hrant Dink Foundation to stop presentation of the anti-Armenian “Blonde Bride-The Inner Face of the Armenian Problem Documentary” in Turkish schools.

The film made by the Turkish General Staff, was distributed to education institutions as a supplementary educational material, Asbarez reports, referring to Hurriyet.

The Foundation claims that the film does not comply with the goals of education and the scenes of violence, contained in the film, can negatively affect the psychological and intellectual development of primary school students.

Foundation’s lawyer Fethiye Cetin says that the film “possesses a content which ratchets up hostility instead of peace,” the source reports.

 “Armenians are especially demonstrated as negative figures and the content of the documentary creates a grudge and hatred toward them. Moreover, the pictures illustrating skulls, sliced heads, and corpses could influence the physical and mental development of children,” Asbarez quotes Cetin.

“We opened a case, stating that we do not find the utilization of such materials that ratchet up hostility instead of contributing to peace and democracy within educational institutions to be correct,” said Cetin.

The presentation of the “Blonde Bride-The Inner Face of the Armenian Problem Documentary” in the Turkish educational institutions was temporarily canceled due to public outcry.
