> TIME Magazine Distributes Documentary;
> Adopts Policy on the Armenian Genocide
>
> The Feb. 12, 2007 issue of the European edition of
> TIME magazine -- available in newsstands throughout
> Europe as of Feb. 2nd -- carries a
> full-page factual announcement on the Armenian Genocide, along with
> a complimentary DVD, in English and French, which contains a  
> compelling
> 52-minute documentary on the
> Armenian Genocide by French director Laurence Jourdan. The DVD also
> includes a 46-minute interview
> with Dr. Yves Ternon, a leading expert on the Armenian Genocide.
>
> Both the DVD and the full-page ad were provided free of charge by  
> TIME Europe
> (circulation 550,000)
> after realizing that its staff, without proper review, had inserted  
> in the June
> 6, 2005 issue of TIME Europe
> a Turkish DVD as a paid advertisement under the guise of promoting  
> tourism to
> Turkey. The Turkish DVD,
> paid for by the Ankara Chamber of Commerce, was a deceitful attempt  
> to spread
> malicious lies and
> denialist propaganda on the Armenian Genocide.
>
> To correct this error, TIME (Europe) published, in its October 17,  
> 2005 issue,
> a critical page-long letter to
> the editor jointly signed by the following five French  
> organizations: Memoire
> 2000, the Coordinating
> Council of Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF), Comité de  
> Défense de la
> Cause Arménienne
> (CDCA) -- ANC France, J'Accuse, and the Movement Against Racism and  
> for
> Friendship Among Peoples
> (MRAP). In an Editor's note appended to the letter, TIME apologized  
> for disseminating
> the Turkish DVD.
> In December 2005, these five organizations along with the  
> Switzerland-Armenia
> Association (SAA), the
> French Association of Armenian Lawyers and Jurists (AFAJA), the
> European-Armenian Federation for
> Justice and Democracy (EAFJD), and The California Courier newspaper  
> reached an
> amicable agreement
> with TIME executives ensuring that the facts of the Armenian  
> Genocide are not
> distorted again in the
> pages of the magazine.
>
> Subsequently, Michael Elliott, the Editor of TIME International,  
> issued the
> following public statement:
> "Please be advised that, in common with other leading news  
> organizations,
> it is TIME's policy and practice
> to refer to the Armenian genocide as a historical fact.  
> Accordingly, I will be
> informing our correspondents
> and editors that the term 'Armenian genocide' should be used without
> qualification."
> The above mentioned organizations are fully satisfied with the  
> corrective steps
> taken by TIME magazine.
> They are also pleased that the Turkish attempt to distort the facts  
> of the
> Armenian Genocide, supported
> by considerable financial resources, was properly countered as a  
> result of
> these organizations' close
> cooperation with TIME which placed journalistic ethics above all other
> considerations.
