Mr. Paylan is an incredibly brave person. He is risking his life by speaking the truth about a corrupt and autocratic regime that pretends to be democratic.
I wish him safety more than anything else. In that crazy country people like him are always at grave risk.
Specially in light of the recent assassinations and attempts in Turkey.
He starts with saying “Parev Tsez?” – listen carefully and you will hear it!
Bravo!!! We need to clear the dirt instead of cover on it!!!
The only way to speak the truth IS TO RISK EVERYTHING, including one’s life… otherwise, forget about it… If it were so easy to speak the truth the world would not be where it is now. The world is full of cowards to are afraid of speaking the truth fearing for themselves and their immediate interests.
BRAVO Garo Paylan, you make us proud!!!
ABRISS Yeghpayr!
“The country is sending arms to Syria,” he says…he is very very outspoken!
“Syria is burning and we are pouring fuel on the fire!”
He is attaching the country and its justice system… wow!
Tying it into what happened in France… How the country has been covering up Hrant Dink’s murder… and not letting the murderers be punished. This is not how democracy works, he says, but honestly, since when was Turkey Democratic in practice?????
BRAVO Garo Paylan!
One can only respect this brave guy. He sure is seriously risking his life. I salute Garo Paylan and salute every single person who voted for him!!! If, God forbid, something happens to him then the entire free world knows whom to accuse!!!
bravo!
