Hrant Dink and 19th January 2007


I do not have access to internet every day. My silence on the anniversary of Hrant Dink’s murder does not mean that I would have forgotten him. Today is the first time during several days that I can post anything.

Silence about the Armenian genocide is a sign that Turkey is post-genocidal society. The wounds of the genocide can be healed only by discussing it openly.

Turkey should study how Germany handled the Holocaust. Germans are not paralysed by their past.

A genocide affects also the perpetrators and prevents the normal development of their society.

Turks should keep in mind that the Armenian genocide was not committed by the Republic of Turkey. It did not exist 1915. Armenian genocide happened in the Ottoman empire.
