Dear Ms Amanpour,

 

 

One simple-minded question: 30 years+ in journalism, award-winning journalism every single consecutive year since 1993...impressive port folio.

 

 

Where along the years, did you become a sell-out, letting the necessary abidance to comply with archival references fail you?

 

 

For decades, the Armemian people have been fighting, battling, protesting, arguing the Armenian cause: RECOGNITION OF THE GENOCIDE. It's not a tragedy, it's not a sad event, it's not a mishap...it's a GENOCIDE: the SYSTEMATIC and PLANNED extermination of the entire Armenian population. An intentional annihilation should in no way, under any circumstance, be downplayed as non-existant, CONSIDERING, the term in itsellf was coined  in large part  to the  Armenian case.

 

 

Given your featured documentary was meant to cover all holocausts and genocide of the 20th century...the half-minute you allocate to the coverage of the FIRST case is unacceptable.

 

 

So to summarize, not only am I disappointed, I am appalled that, given your credentials, you have failed as a reporter to deliver news, in a just,  truthful and correct fashion.

 

 

History and its historians don't lie, neither do pictures, nor eye-witnesses, nor archival documented FACTS AND REFERENCES.

 

 

I sincerely hope that you and CNN can make ammends. A public aplology is long overdue.
