April 12, 2006 -- A private TV station in Turkey will broadcast a controversial movie on April 13 about the massacres of Armenians during World War I.
Kanalturk says a survey of viewers indicated widespread support to show "Ararat" by Canadian director Atom Egoyan, an ethnic Armenian.
Turkey acknowledges that tens of thousands of Armenians were killed, but denies it amounted to genocide.
