This is definitely an unfortunate event for Turks (I'm one of them) There was several facebook groups and pages distributing heavily negative opinions about movie. Comments about movie were mess. Definitely a terrible shame for all Turks. Even if they are right about history (that's really unlikely, historical evidence points opposite. As a Turk I believe that was more than a cruel war. And probably I will be down voted because of this message.) Starting a campaign against a movie they have never seen, and putting 1 star and asking for more people to thrash out the movie on IMDB, was another wrong. It won't make it right. I am truly sorry for those people who gave efforts for that movie in the name of my people. It was even 1 point last month. I tried to put my opinion about how wrong that campaign in social media. But again I have been blamed for ridiculous claims. It was just a mass mania. Craziness. Can't even find a better word to describe it. So there is clearly no hope for a Turk - Armenian peace any time soon. And I am really disappointed, frustrated for this.

I believe that you are describing it very accurately. I hope that there is at lease some research going on about how to solve issues like this because there are too many conflicts based on the lack of reason caused by mass hysteria.
