Turkish PR firms trying to bribe Youtubers to deny Armenian Genocide

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish media companies have approached popular Youtubers Kraut and Tea and Suibhne channel owners, offering them money for making videos denying the Armenian Genocide.

Joseph Lanchester, better known online as Kraut (or Kraut and Tea), released a statement and said: “I received an email last week from Turkish media company 365 Derece. They asked me for my price to make a video about a specific topic for them. They also specified that they would be doing the research and writing, and I would only animate and edit it for my channel.

“It turned out that they wanted me to deny the Armenian Genocide. What’s more they wanted me to basically do it in the style of the Turkish history videos I made, basically, wanting me to attack my own video."

Historic fact is not for sale.

"The Armenian Genocide is such a historical fact. And that definition is not something that I am willing to sell," the media personality said.

Another history Youtuber James Suibhne, responded to Kraut’s" statement, said in a tweet: "I received the exact same email from a Turkish media company offering to pay me to make propaganda denying the Armenian Genocide. This is sickening."
