| A movie company has indefinitely postponed the screening of Ararat, a movie about the killings of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey, fearing violence from Turkish nationalists, the company’s owner said Wednesday. The Culture Ministry agreed last month to allow the film to be shown, but ordered at least one scene, depicting the rape of Armenian women by Ottomans, to be cut. The film by director Atom Egoyan, a Canadian of Armenian heritage, was to have opened in mid-January. Egoyan said earlier this week he was disappointed but not surprised by the postponement. |
