Nor Zartonk Member to Speak in Boston Nov. 12 on ‘Armenian Activism in Istanbul’

BELMONT, Mass.—Some of the most dynamic examples of Armenian resistance in the last decade have arisen in Istanbul. Most recently, protestors standing down bulldozers at Camp Armen, and Turkish parliamentarian Garo Paylan speaking truth to power—these will be topics of discussion in Boston this month when Sayat Tekir speaks on Armenian advocacy and activism in Istanbul.




I am so happy to see the support and recognition afforded to the Armenians in Turkey. I pray for the disappearance of the chasm between the diaspora and those who stayed behind in our historic lands. For those, who might deny the existence of a chasm, I say there definitely was, and it was frequently vocalized.
