The racist Turks just can’t stop genociding.
Erdogan wants to use all these attacks on Armenians, Kurds, leftists and Alavies for his propaganda of the planed elections. In addition, he already detained hundreds of Kurdish activists in the Kurdish region and deployed security forces and military there in order to intimidate people during the elections and cheat the elections. Then Erdogan will have the freedom to change the constitution to have the power of a bloody Sultan!
These attackers are playing into Erdogan’s hands. Makes one wonder if they were sponsored by the Erdogan government.
Bravo to these activists for holding ground in spite of difficulties.
Hrant Dink’s heart and soul are ever present on those hallowed grounds.
Shame shame on the Turkish government for dragging this on when they could end it all in one second.
I don’t think that any Turkish government now or in the future would be correct enough to end attacks on Armenians, now or in the future. What can we expect while even the genocide on the Ottoman Christians hasn’t been recognized yet. Sad country.
