On Nov. 15, former Republican People’s Party (CHP) Member of Parliament Aykan Erdemir shared an image of the vandalized wall on social media with the caption: “Hate graffiti on the walls of Istanbul’s Bomonti Mkhitarian school. Third Armenian school targeted [in] the last three months.”

The person or persons responsible for the crime have not yet been identified.

“We’re not afraid, we’re not going anywhere,” read a part of a statement that the Istanbul based Nor Zartonk movement published on social media on Nov. 16.

The vandalism of the Bomonti Mkhitarian School walls comes about three months after the walls of the Uskudar Surp Khach Seminary and two months after the walls of the Uskudar Kalfayan School were defaced with anti-Armenian graffiti.

    let’s hope that president elect Trump will finally read between the lines about this 3rd. world, failed state.

  2. Turks. Is there anything more repugnant? I dont think so. Unit as one. These people destroyed and are still occupying and enjoying the Armenian Nation. Never forget that. Our day will come So will theirs. Only a matter of time.
