Famous Armenian American rock singer, lead singer of the band System of a Down Serj Tankian and composer of the official soundtrack for the film “The Promise” Chris Cornell attended the screening of the Armenian Genocide film “The Promise” in Los Angeles.

As reported “Armenpress”, Serj Tankian noted that he was very happy to have participated in the production of the film. “I am very happy for my contribution to the musical component of the film. This is a very important film. It tells about a love story taking place during the years of the Armenian Genocide. I attach great value to that film since all my ancestors are Armenian Genocide victims,” Tankian said.

Highlighting the late Kirk Kerkorian’s initiative to make a film devoted to the Armenian Genocide, producer of the film Eric Esrailian also mentioned that his ancestors were Armenian Genocide victims and he wished to make use of that platform to break the silence and attract the attention of people to that issue.
