Hosted by NPR's Scott Simon, this 30-minute program is designed to air immediately following THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, a documentary that chronicles the events that led to the deaths of more that one million Armenians during World War I. The intent of ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: EXPLORING THE ISSUES is not to "balance" the documentary but to further explore the question of how historians can come to such divergent conclusions about these events. As Scott Simon acknowledges in the follow-up discussion, bringing together these two sides is almost unprecedented.
