Re: “TV debate programme suspended because of references to Armenian genocide: YOU ARE BEING UNFAIR

I watched the same program via satellite and thought Nisanyan was abusive, aggressive, and unsophisticated. While these may not be sufficient justification to ban a TV program, insulting and libelous language used by NIsanyan could get him into legal trouble in any country around the world.

I watched the same program via satellite and thought Nisanyan was abusive, aggressive, and unsophisticated. While these may not be sufficient justification to ban a TV program, insulting and libelous language used by NIsanyan could get him into legal trouble in any country around the world.

Case in point: The Turkish professor Halacoglu produced documents proving his assertions and offered them to Nisanyan who dismissed them with a brief look saying they were at once fake, inapplicable, and misinterpreted. And then he insulted the Turkish scholar in front of millions watching.

I am all for uncensored, free exchange of ideas, but not at the cost of defamation and libel. As long as your organization blindly and automatically supports an Armenian falsifier and a Turk-hater--just because the TV program featuring him was banned for one show for Nisanyan’s excesses but without addressing the slanderous behavior also—you lost your credibility with me.

You should stand for principles, not partisans, and show at least minimal effort to be fair.
