There is no denying that genocidal rhetoric toward Armenians and other Christian minorities in Turkey is a deep-rooted aspect of the country's political history and culture. Though Ataturk is beloved in Turkey, he was a brutal dictator who killed hundreds of thousands. Disney+ and other platforms should think carefully before airing this series.
Disney+'s hasty decision to pull the Ataturk documentary demonstrates the harmful power of the Armenian lobby in the US. There is vital missing context about the migration flows and geopolitical conditions that occurred during the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The father of modern Turkey should not be slandered.
