Once a Turkish writer wrote in his article that Turkish story now has two parts, ” Before Hrant and after Hrant”. I think the same is right for us, too. No words needed.
we should all be involved in Turkey’s human rights violations, be aware of them and let the world know about; even though we as Armenians were thrown out of the Empire, there is a connection that can not be denied, we don’t have the citizenship to prove it, but we belong in those lands just like Hrant, Garo and every other Turkish citizen whose life is in danger, or who is in prison, due to his academic, scholar, journalist, human rigths activist job. @minassianok
Yes, we became acutely aware of Hrant’s message and we also became ware that journalists with integrity around the world are in danger of imprisonment, torture and death. Turkey does not hide its cruel means and the so called Western world sees, watches and does nothing. Yes, Hrant left a legacy for us, to continue our path and struggle to achieve human rights, no matter how difficult, impossible and unattainable seems our road.
