Filmmaker #Özcan #Alper, made the 1. motion picture in Homshetsi, Momi (Grandma), released in 2000. As a result, Alper was accused in the Court for State Security of producing material intended to destroy the unity of the state, under article 8 of #Turkey's anti-terror law.
This law was repealed in 2003 after EU pressure, and Alper's trial did not go ahead.
Older generations of #Turkish #Hamshenis see the reference "#Ermeni" (often used by their Laz neighbours) as an #insult, but some among younger generations, particularly those with strong leftist leanings tend to identify themselves as #Armenians
