LOS ANGELES TIMES? ARMENIAN JOURNALIST LEAVES NEWSPAPER FOR BIASED ARTICLE ABOUT ALLEGED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

Mark Araks prepared a broad and biased article about the so-called Armenian genocide on the eve of alleged Armenian genocide April 24. Managing Editor of the newspaper Douglas Frantz rejected publishing the article. After familiarizing with the article, the editor said that Armenian journalist expressed biased position, which meets Armenians’ interests. Mark Araks stated that Douglas Frantz is biased towards him and demanded internal investigations. After two-month investigation, publisher of Los Angeles David Hiller said that rejecting to publish the article on alleged Armenian genocide Douglas Frantz did not demonstrate any discrimination.
Representatives of Azerbaijani, Turkish and Armenian Diaspora have been closely involved in the event in Los Angeles Times. Azerbaijani and Turks living in the US sent hundreds of letters supporting Douglas Frantz’s position to Los Angeles Times.
Managing editor of Los Angeles Times Douglas Frantz told the APA US bureau that he is grateful to all Azerbaijanis for supporting him.
