Ataturk animated film director blames Armenian lobby for banning movie’s screening in Europe

Kamuran Ayna, the director of the animated film about the childhood of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, spoke about the problems related to the screening of this film in Europe.

In an interview with Cumhuriyet daily of Turkey, the director of the animated film Mustafa said that two days before its screening in Europe, the managers of movie theaters declined—without valid reasons—to show the film.

Ayna claimed that according to his information, the Armenian lobby, which has a strong position in Europe, had managed to prevent the showing of this film in Europe.

The director of this animated film added that they are currently working on getting permission again to screen it in Europe and are close to success.
