DİYARBAKIR

Beyzar and her partner Sarkis during the wedding held on April 27. DHa PHoto

Beyzar Alata, who had been revered as “Diyarbakır’s last Armenian” and who finally married her life partner Sarkis only two months ago at the age of 87, passed away June 23.

The marriage, which took place at the end of April in Diyarbakır’s newly restored Surp Giragos Church – with the attendance of Diyarbakır Mayor Gültan Kışanak and other prominent guests including renowned local oud master musician Yervant Bostancı – had drawn attention to the discrimination that Armenians faced over the years.

“I did not want to die unmarried,” said Beyzar after the marriage.

At the ceremony, Kışanak stressed the significance of the wedding ceremony and praised the couple’s “struggle” against the odds.

Beyzar’s funeral will also be held in Diyarbakır.

Here is ZEYNEP TOZDUMAN  wonderful words for the Bride

Of the 1915 genocide Diyarbakir (Dikragenert) the last living witness, a life in the homeland is completed BAYZ aunt (BAYZ Alata) lost their lives these days. Armenians in Diyarbakir last BAYZ aunt, now is farewell to the stars.

BAYZ 87-year-old aunt, is just one of the victims of the 1915 genocide. 0.1915-Pontic Greek and Assyrian genocide of the Armenian-to Ezidi lived a painful life was a passenger at the same time. Place of birth, the name of the fatherland did not even register. It was a breaking strain of the public faceless soldiers.

BAYZ future and identity is taken away from her aunt, companionship until his death so that his beloved wife of 84-year-old Sarkis (Sıtkı Eken) after 60 years of marriage ceremony but were ready. It is a shame this country. Turkey’s; Turkish and non-Sunni faith given to people and is a measure of the value kept alive in pain. Genocide we did was not enough (!) Names has been changed, language, religion has changed, churches, monasteries, chapels were occupied, humane life your right hand on your receipt in the country, in every case all potential criminals illustrated Have you still the main country to live in your resisted zoomed. Once again, Peace be upon those who resist to live in their homeland.

Hançepek aka Gavin’s neighborhoods are seeing a single woman or Armenian! Echoing the cry of my heart is now in Amed.

87-year life of the Syriac Church of Virgin Mary in the completion of the stone walls of this beautiful journey of people to death, strangled me with a nameless sadness. It’s a country in his person died. Amed fell … Shout, shout, shout I want to quiet ravine.

Ah! Lice noble and innocent girl. If you knew what killed your death …
Why did you travel you always die in your homeland?. Why you always relentlessly killed bloodsuckers? Yet in you, is why we did not know the deceased? There’s so many things to say … my heart is full of anger and rebellion resisting kept alive in the face of so much suffering. How to chop the human person? How conscience, wallets displaced.

This world does not stay in one guys! Anyone not take anything to the other side, this hatred, why this hatred?. Brother, sister, while friendly live this pain, why swim in the sea? However, since you do not, since it is the almond tree blossoms in the century, not the bird does not sing, the Euphrates and Tigris blood flowing blood for centuries.

Established in blood all the peoples outside the Republic of Turkey and the Sunni beliefs share the pain unfortunately still alive. I know it is BAYZ bacom, the last remaining all the pain they are hit once again. Each stroke, whereas our is that we do not. Flowers of all colors will stand in Mesopotamia will stop one day course. Enough, let’s continue to resist all together.

What kept me going is the ah?
Look! Ancestral lands are still being irrigated with blood. Diyarbakır / Lice are resisting in blood now. Do you know? Light lost since you go in this country. Unlit and we’re fever-free. Now it’s all over the map and burn injured children are hitting the sun.

Ah! And the light of the sun by the waters of the Aegean children could breastfeed once you get your pain. Susan was screaming in me speechless. We are a people yolculuy in Amed in your party. Amed and I are now yolculuy you to the stars. My heart with the flag of the people at the ceremony, giving the flag colors of roses goodbye to you now.

Goodbye is BAYZ bacom,
