Review of The Promise (2017) by Miccael — 28 Apr 2017
It is a miracle that this movie even exists...that the voice of small nation of Armenians is heard and the horrifying truth is not silenced by ottoman dictators that rule today. This movie is not for reviews. yes...I said it, reviews DON'T matter at all, what matters is that people discuss and have a chance to see in theatres how atrocious was ottoman empire, covering their killings, murder and genocide under the rug of WW1.
Denial of Armenian genocide is nothing but a POLITICAL statement of defense and ass-kissing of Turkish government. There is more than enough evidence, stories of Armenian people and their grandparents and there is LOGIC behind it, you can't deny that a muslim country like Turkey would not do such atrocious things to an CHRISTIAN neighbour. Look at the history of Turkey...a made up country from pieces of broken empires. They never got along with any nations...Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds, Jewish and Armenians... They are OK Georgians because Georgians are a "middle man" and a transit country between them and Russia, a safe-zone.
Armenians? Hm...There is something unique about Armenians...they are in a way ..with unification with Azerbaijan...i.e. another made up country (don't believe look up old maps, there is no such country on any ancient map). The movie is not perfect but delivers the promise of letting people know about Armenian Genocide. As long as there are Armenians alive, we would not let our history forgotten. We stand by truth and justice and trust me, nobody "really" wants to side with Turkey, nobody really wants to side with killers and horrible governments. But sadly....most will....they are afraid to lose those precious ties with Turkey and NATO...isn't it USA? England? Afraid to be like France? Like Russia? So much politics.
