Turkish writer at the cost of his life ready to speak up about Armenian genocide 
 and the freedom

November 30, 2014 By administrator

YEREVAN, ARMENPRESS:

turkish-writer-serkan-enginTurkish writer Serkan Engin considers it an obligation from his conscience to talk about the Armenian, Greek and I Assyrian genocides in Turkey.

This is an ethical duty for me as an honest and honorable intellectual. This is my debt and obligation to humanity. 

I want to talk about all these genocides perpetrated my Turk ancestors,

because in Turkey you must declare the truth loudly, against the lies of the so-called official history.

I’m the child who shouts “The Emperor is naked”. I’m devoting myself to the truth at the cost of my life
and freedom, because I want to create and increase awareness about these atrocities, so that similar
crimes against humanity won’t be perpetrated again.

I refuse to be “proud of” my ancestors who raped little girls, burned children alive, enslaved women and
brutally slaughtered millions of innocent people,” the l.az-Turkish poet told Armenpress.

“I refuse to shout “How happy is he, who says I’m a Turk” every morning in school playgrounds. I reject the education system which tells our children a racist motto like “One Turk is equal to the whole world”.
I don’t want to see any fascist youth in my country, or in any other country. We have to tell our kids “Every
humans of the world are equal to each other, whatever their ethnicity, language, belief or gender. 1 want
an education system in Turkey which reveals the importance of art, philosophy, and science,” he said.

Serkan Engin is against all kind of heroic tales, because politicians, generals and arms industry corporations use heroic tales for their own benefits, so that they can send poor young men to the war zones to kill each other.

“I’m an anti-militarist and proud of this. My heart and my pen are my only weapons. 1 stand behind all the oppressed people in the world, as an internationalist socialist poet and author, and my mission is to be the voice of them. I’m a little child in an adult’s body who wants to love the whole world with childish
pureness,” the writer stressed.

Europalia-Turkey and the 1915 genocide centennial by Dogan Özgüden

November 30, 2014 By administrator

arton105752-250x175Belgian media November 26, 2014 were favorably received at a press conference in Brussels on Europalia-Turkey to be held in the European capital in 2015. La Libre Belgique, for example, gave the information under the title of “The 2015 edition of the Europalia festival will Turkish culture in the spotlight.”

As for the Turkish media, even those who are against the current Islamist government, they applaud the holding of the press conference in the presence of the Turkish Culture Minister Omer Celik, as a victory of Turkish lobby in the European capital against the Anatolian diasporas preparing to commemorate the centenary of the Armenian Genocide and Assyrians in 2015.

Why?

Because the Turkish Minister would have taken against the foot by saying, “Anatolia is the cradle of countless civilizations, an open air museum. We want to know Anatolian culture as a whole, complete and not divided into compartments and Armenian culture is one. As the veins of one body. “

Some exposures may be some musical performances will be, according to them, enough to show the European public that the veins Armenian, Assyrian, Greek of this body are still alive as the Turkish-Islamic vein in contemporary Turkey.

What about the genocide and the deportation of millions of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks there 100 years?

Why is there today that tens of thousands of descendants of the indigenous peoples of Anatolia, peoples that existed there before the arrival of the Turks in “the birthplace of countless civilizations”?

Anatolia today is it really an “open air museum” or “an open graveyard” countless civilizations whose creators were exterminated or deported there a century.

What about the oppression and extermination of the Kurdish people and Yezidis? Koçgiri, Seyh Said, Agri, Dersim and Roboski?

What about the Sunni tyranny over the Alevi community?

When amounted at the conference question about Centennial 2015 genocide, President of Europalia International Jacobs de Hagen said that it is a coincidence of dates and reminds Europalia is wants “apolitical.”

Apolitical?

While all democratic forces of the world are already preparing for the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the first genocide of the 20th century, the neo-Ottoman and Islamic leaders of Turkey still persist in the denial of this heinous crime committed by the Ottoman Empire Land that was the homeland of the Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the plan, Mevlut Cavusoglu, said recently the Turkish Parliament that it is impossible for Turkey to recognize the Armenian genocide that is assigned to their ancestors and to the Turkish nation. (Armenews.com, November 7, 2014)

Moreover, the leaders of Europalia does he have to take into account the situation of human rights and freedom of expression in a country chosen as a partner of the festival? Just flip through the latest reports from international NGOs such as Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, European Federation of Journalists and Committee to Protect Journalists.

And retrograde and scandalous statements of the President of the Republic? (The President Erdogan king of controversy, AFP, November 27, 2014)

Honoring such a plan by the organization Europalia is it really an apolitical act?

Let us not forget that the decision of Europalia International Board of Directors May 23, 2013 to dedicate Europalia 2015 Turkey had already provoked reactions as was the case in 1995.

Indeed, as pointed out by the Libre Belgique of 28 May 2013, Europalia had been interrupted in March 1995 the organization of the 96 edition devoted to Turkey because of the “lack of respect for Turkey in the program of cultural diversity , including the Kurdish dimension “.

See also Article Dogan Özgüden entitled “Europalia ’96 festivities shame?”, Le Soir, December 23, 1994.

After the new allocation of Europalia Turkey, the president of the Armenian community of Belgium, Michel Mahmourian, launched the following call:

“It is clear that the choice of the year 2015 is not due to chance or at the initiative of the Belgian part. If invite Turkey is already in itself questionable – recall that in 1995 the federal government objected to the invitation of Turkey for political reasons – we can not not react to the choice of the year 2015. Let us react So, not only 2015 will be the centenary of the Armenian Genocide but also the beginning of the annihilation of all Christians in the Ottoman Empire. The occasion is thus given to us to bring Greek and Assyrian-Chaldeans, and even to seek support from other former Ottoman minorities concerned to stand out from the official Turkish position “(http: // www.. info-turk.be/419.htm#Europalia)

Despite this warning, the Belgian authorities continue to honor a denialist regime without reservation.

Or, they could demand to hold the festival that Turkey formally recognize the genocide of 1915 and agrees to repair all the consequences of this crime against humanity.

What has not been done by the Belgian ruling is made in Turkey by the democratic forces despite all the risks.

A final example:

The Kurdish MP Sebahat Tuncel Party for a Democratic Society (HDP) submitted to the Turkish Parliament a bill demanding recognition of the 1915 genocide and massacres committed against the Kurds and Alevis during the Republican period.

Tuncel invite the president to apologize to the rostrum of Parliament to the victims of these crimes against humanity. It also requires the Turkish State archives are open, that on April 24 is proclaimed as a day of remembrance and of moral and material damages are compensated by the state.

The Belgian authorities and leaders of Europalia should they not be courageous like this Kurdish politician, toujous threatened by reactionary forces and demand the recognition of the 1915 genocide by the Turkish state before the implementation of the festival program?

If they really want “apolitical”!

HESAP SORMADIĞIMIZ HER SOYKIRIM, BİR SONRAKİNİN AYAK SESLERİDİR,

November 7, 2014 By administrator

ZEYNEP TOZDUMANBy ZEYNEP TOZDUMAN, Human right Activist Izmir, Turkey   —- also see below google translated english version   

Öncelikle ülkemde yaşatılan Ermeni- Süryani- Rum- Ezidi ve Kızılbaş soykırımlarından başlayarak, tüm dünyada soykırım yaşayan halklara ve inançlara yapılan insanlık suçlarını kınadığımı bir kez daha deklere etmek istiyorum.

Kurşun nasıl adres tanımazsa, soykırımlar da etno- dinsel adres tanımaz…. Ama illaki her soykırımda vurulan halklar, bir daha vurulur…

Dünya var olalı beri Habil ile Kayin’den günümüze değin, hep kardeş diye bildiğimiz komşu halklar tarafından yaşatılan katliamlar, günümüze değin sürmektedir. Dört kutsal kitapta yer alan yaratılış hikâyesine göre tanrı belki de ” yarattığı kullarını birbirini katletsin diye ” Babil kulesinin yapımından hemen sonra aynı dili kullanan insanların öncelikle dillerini karıştırarak, yeryüzünün dört bucağına bu yüzden dağıtmıştır kim bilir? Tanrı yarattığı kullarını neden savaştırır hiç anlamam, elbette konumuz bu değil. İŞİD ( İSİS )’in, Irak ve Suriye’de acımasızsa uyguladığı soykırımlar yüzünden dünya bu gün Radikal İslami ve Etno-dinsel soykırımları ciddi ciddi sorgulamaya başlamış gibi görünüyor. Radikal İslam şeriatına inanan İŞİD, yine Sünni İslam inancına sahip Kürt halkını vurunca ancak, radikal İslam sorgulanmaya başladı.  Bu sorgulamayı İŞİD’in son olarak Kobane’de uyguladığı vahşete karşı direnen Kürt halkına yardım etmek için dünya ezilen ve soykırım yaşayan halkların desteğinde de görüyoruz. Bu gün Kobane’de, dört parçadaki Kürtler ve Kızılbaşlar başta olmak üzere (1915’de ataları özellikle Kürtler ve Türkler tarafından katledilen) Ermeni, Süryani, Ezidilerin yanı sıra Alman, İsveç, Amerikan, Afganistan, İsviçre, Fransa ve İngiltere’den gerilla olarak Kobane’ye gelen, milis gücü olarak İŞİD ile savaşanlar bir çığ gibi büyümektedir.

Kobane’de Kürt halkıyla birlikte direnen dünya halklarını, bu yazımda bir kez daha selamlıyorum ama özellikle Ermeni ve Süryani halkının gerillalarını çok daha fazla değerli buluyorum… 1915’de soykırımı yaşayan halkların Kobane’deki Kürt halkına ilk yardıma koşması sizce bir tesadüf müdür? Ancak acıyı yaşayan bilir, acının insanda ne büyük yaralar açtığını. Bu gün Kürt halkının yanında yer alarak, şehit vererek İŞİD’e karşı birlikte mücadele eden soykırım mağduru halkları  işte bu yüzden  yüceleştiriyorum. Biliyoruz ki İŞİD’e karşı Kobane’nin kazanımı tüm ezilen ve soykırım yaşayan halkların da kazanımıdır… Bu yüzden Rojava’da kadınlar devrim doğurdu. Kobane direnişi, bize bir kez daha göstermiştir ki kadın olmadan devrim olmaz. Kadının dünyadaki statüsünü ve varlığını yeniden sorgulayan bir direniş olması bakımından Kobane, sadece ezilen halklar için değil, kadının özgürleşmesiyle ilgili de bir tarih yazıyor. Özellikle Kobane, bu yüzden biz kadınların onuru ve namusudur… Kobane kazanırsa sadece insanlık kazanmayacak, dünyanın yarısını oluşturan biz kadınlarda kazanacağız ve özgürleşeceğiz.

Kobane, 1915’de de aynı acıları yaşayan bir coğrafyadır. Dün Kobane’de Ermeniler, Süryaniler ve Ezidiler bu gün ise Kürtler yaşam mücadelesi veriyorlar. Tek bir farkla… 1915’de Kobane’de, Ermeni –Süryani ve Ezidileri dünya yalnız bırakmıştı… Kanın düştüğü yerde belki de bu yüzden Narçiçekleri hep kan kırmızısında açıyor kim bilir?

İnancım o dur ki hiçbir bayrak, hiç bir din, insanın yaşam hakkından daha kutsal değildir. Dünyaya gelen her canlının ( Bitki- Hayvan ve İnsan ) yaşam hakkını kutsayıp, saygı göstermediğimiz sürece daha çok soykırım ve katliamlar yaşanacaktır… Din yerine vicdan müessesini hayata geçirebildiğimiz kadar acılarımız da özürlerimiz de az olur.

Ülkemizde yaşatılan, son yüzyılın en büyük soykırımı ise 1915’de yaşanmıştır. 1915; Ermeni, Süryani, Pontus Rum ve Ezidiler için sonun başlangıcı olmuştur. Bu tarih yüzyıldır hafızalarımızda hep kara bir leke olarak vicdanlarımızı rahatsız etmiştir. Soykırımdan özür dilenene, hukuksal olarak yargılanana dek de vicdanlarımız rahatsız olmaya devam edecektir. Bu gün Kesab, Musul, Ninova, Telafer, Şengal, Kobane’de yaşatılan katliamlar hep 1915’in hesabını soramadığımız için yaşanıyor. Hesap sormadığımız her soykırım, bir sonraki soykırımın ayak sesleridir.

Ah! Acılı coğrafyanın 1915 gülleri, yer, gök nasıl da kana boyanmıştı o günlerde… Acı çığlıklara mezar olup, Dicle ve Fırat kan akıyordu kan. Orhan Kemal’in bir kitabında ”Bereketli topraklar” dediği bu topraklar, kadim halkların Ahlarıyla sulanıyordu İslam elden gidiyor fetvalarıyla. Yeryüzü belki de Hitler’in soykırımına kadar, bu kadar büyük acıya tanık olmamıştı. 1915 Soykırımı yaklaşık 2 milyonun üzerinde insanın bu topraklardan kazınmasına neden olmuştur. Bu suç, bu vahşet, bu acı Anadolu denilen coğrafyada yaşayan, hepimizin.

Başta ülkemizde ve dünyada başka soykırımlar yaşanmaması için kamuoyunun yakından bildiği soykırımlardan bazılarını anlatmak istiyorum. Hepsini anlatmam mümkün değil elbette insanlık tarihine not düşülen ve bu gün için bilinen 60’ın üzerinde soykırım yapılmıştır.

Bu soykırımdan bazıları ise

Türkiye coğrafyasında; 1915 öncesi ve sonrası Hıristiyan halklara, Ezidilere, Yahudilere, Alevilere ve Kızılbaş Kürtlere uygulanan soykırımlar.

Almanya’da Adolf Hitler’in; Yahudiler, Romanlar, Eş cinseller ve Engellilere uyguladığı yaklaşık 6 milyon insana yapılan soykırım.

İspanya ve Amerika’nın; Yerli halk olan Kızılderililere uyguladığı soykırım,

Amerika’nın Japonya’da; Nagazaki ve Hiroşimo’ya attığı atom bombası ile uyguladığı soykırım.
İngilizlerin Avustralya’da; Yerli halk olan Aborjinlere uyguladığı soykırım,

Saddam’ın Irak/ Halepçe’de; Kürtler ve Süryanilere yaptığı soykırım

Orta Afrika Ruanda’da : Tutsiler ve ılımlı Hutulara yapılan soykırım. 100 gün içinde 1 milyon insan katledildi.

Burma’da Budistlerin; Müslümanlara uyguladığı soykırım.

Sırpların, Bosna -Hersek savaşında özellikle Srebrenica bölgesinde; Yerli Müslümanlara uyguladığı soykırım.

Norveçlilerin; Göçerleri kısırlaştırarak ve toplama kamplarında izole ederek yaptığı soykırım…

İsrail’in; Filistin ve Gazze’de, Müslüman halklara uyguladığı soykırım bu soykırım hala devam etmektedir.

Suriye’de İslami terör örgütü ÖSO’nun; Hıristiyan halklara ( Ermeni, Süryani, Arap ) ve Nusayri ( Arap Alevisi) inançlarına uyguladığı soykırım. Görüldüğü gibi hiçbir halk sütten çıkmış ak kaşık değildir. Geçmişte yaşatılan tüm soykırımlara karşı bu gün İnsanlığın yüceltilmesi için mücadele etmek gerek.

Ve ne acıdır ki bu gün yeryüzünde özellikle İslam coğrafyalarında, soykırımlar hala devam ediyor. Geçtiğimiz Haziran ayından bu yana soykırımlar tarihine bir yenisi daha eklendi. Tarih bu soykırımı yazmaya devam ediyor.

İŞİD terör örgütünün ( Irak ve Şam İslam devleti ) 2014 Haziran’ında Irak’ta başlattığı soykırımda: Şiiler, Süryaniler, Ermeniler, Ezidiler, Kürtler ve Türkmenler insanlık dışı bir soykırımla karşı karşıya kaldı. Tecavüzler, Kafa kesmeler, zorla sünnet etmeler, 5-6 yaşındaki çocuklarla İslam nikâhı, kadınların köle pazarlarında satılması, cizye vergileri, kilise ve manastırların bombalanması, 7000 kadının hala akıbetinin bilinmemesi gibi bir dizi vahşet uygulayan İŞİD’in uyguladığı soykırım hala devam etmektedir. Yaklaşık 55 gündür Kobane’de büyük bir direnişle karşılaşan İŞİD, halkların ortak iradesi karşısında mutlaka yenilecek ve gerileyecektir.

Yakın tarihimizde Orta doğu coğrafyasında, özellikle sınır komşularımız olan halklar, sözde Arap baharıyla başlayan süreçte çok büyük acılar yaşamıştır. Sözde Arap baharından sonra Suriye’de ve Irak’ta yaşatılan soykırım ise dünyanın gözü önünde vahşice yaşatılmaya devam ediyor.

9 Haziran 2014’de İŞİD’in saldırıları sonucu ilk önce Musul’un düşmesiyle başlayan bu kanlı süreçte Süryanilerin ana yurdu olan Irak- Musul- Ninova’da yaşatılan katliam ve sürgünler ile başlayan acı dolu günler, Şengal’de Ezidilere, Telafar’de Alevilere, bu gün ise Kobane’de Kürt halkına yapılan zulümlerle sürüyor. YPG-HPG- PYD- YPJ-PKK ve PEŞMERGE’nin kararlı direnişi sonucu Kobane’ye destek vermek zorunda kalan ABD, şimdi yarattığı canavarı İŞİD’i, Kobane’den çekmek için Kürt halkına büyük destek sunmaktadır. Önce savaştır, sonra da destek ver. Geri kalmış İslam ülkelerinde tam Amerikan yani emperyalist bir politika uygulanmaktadır. Bu gün bu politikalar yüzünden yüz binlerce insan yerinden, yurdundan edilmiş, zemheri ayında aç, perişan, sağlık ve gıda sorunlarıyla yaşamaktadır.

Yaşasın Irak’ta ve Suriye’de direnen Kürt halkı. Yaşasın Kobane’de Kürt halkına destek veren dünya ezilen ve soykırım yaşayan halkları…

ASK ANY ACCOUNT mAdIğImIz GENOCIDE, THE NEXT VOICE feet

Firstly Eziu my country alive by Armenians and Syriac Rum- Kızılbaş starting from genocide, I condemn genocide crimes against humanity living people and their beliefs made all over the world once again until I want to.
Does not know how to lead address, genocide does not recognize the ethno-religious peoples address …. But necessarily hit every genocide, one more shot …
Let the world existed until today since Cain and Abel, he always massacres brother survived by neighboring peoples we know, lasts until today. Four holy books according to Situated creation story God perhaps ‘get slaughtered created by the servants of one another so that’ mixing languages, primarily of people who use the same language immediately after the construction of the tower of Babel, who knows so distributed on the earth’s four corners? Fight each other ever understand why God created His servants, of course, this is not our subject. Isidor (ISIS) in Iraq and because of that cruel genocide in Syria to implement radical Islamic world and ethno-religious genocide these days seem to have begun to seriously question. Isidor believes in the radical Islamic Sharia, Sunni Kurds, but when it hits the people of the Islamic faith again, radical Islam began to be questioned. This questioning of the end of the hearing to help resist against the savagery of the Kurdish people and genocide Kobani’de living world we see in support of the oppressed people. These days Kobani’de, mainly Kurds and Kizilbash in four parts (who was murdered by especially Kurds and Turks are the ancestors in 1915), Armenian, Syriac, EZiD as well as German, Swedish, American, Afghanistan, Switzerland, France and the guerrillas from the UK from Kobani’yi, who fought with the militia ISID has been growing like a snowball.
Peoples of the world who resist with the Kurdish people Kobani’de greet once more at this writing, but especially the Armenian and Assyrian peoples of the guerrillas of the more valuable I find … living the genocide in 1915, first aid people of the Kurdish people in Kobani’yi run you think it a coincidence? However, living knows the pain, the pain of what is human large open wounds. Taking place next to the Kurdish people these days, that’s why I yüceleştiriy genocide victims killed by people who are fighting together against the hearing. We know that the Kobani’yi against hearing gain for the recovery of all the oppressed peoples and genocide … That’s why women living in Rojava revolution gave birth. Kopana resistance has shown us once again that no revolution without women. Women’s status in the world again questioning the existence and terms of a resistance that Kopana, not only for the oppressed peoples, writes about the political emancipation of women date. Especially Kopana, so we will win the women’s dignity and honor … if only mankind Kopana win, we will win in the women constitute half the world, and we will liberate.
Kopana is a pain living in the same region as in 1915. Yesterday Kobani’de Armenians, Assyrians and Kurds Ezidis these days is struggling for survival. In one difference … 1915 Kobani’yi, Armenian -Süry new and EZiD had left the world alone … where blood drops so maybe blood red pomegranate flowers are always open, who knows?
It is my belief that no flag, no religion, more about human life is not sacred. Every living thing came to Earth (Plant-Animal and Human) bless the right to life, the more there will be genocide and massacres … as long as we respect our religion instead of suffering in our life so that we can spend the conscience institution apology would be less.
Kept alive in our country, and the largest genocide of the last century occurred in 1915. 1915; Armenian, Assyrian, and Pontic Greeks was the beginning of the end for Ezidis. This date is a century bother our conscience as a black mark on our memory always. Apologize for the Holocaust, as well as legal prosecution until our conscience will continue to be disturbed. These days Kesab, Mosul, Nineveh, Tall Afar, Sengal, who survived the massacres happening because we can not always ask for the account Kobani’de 1915. Account mAdIğImIz ask each genocide are the footsteps of the next genocide.
Ah! Spicy geography of 1915 roses, ground, sky was painted in those days how grave the bitter cry and bleed … is, the Tigris and Euphrates flowed blood blood. Orhan Kemal’s in a book, ” fertile land ” said this land was irrigated by the ancient peoples of Islam goes hand Oh the fatwa. Earth, perhaps until Hitler’s genocide, has never witnessed such a big pain. About 2 million people over the 1915 Genocide led to instill these lands. This crime, the cruelty, pain living in this region called Anatolia, all of us.
Especially in our country and I want to tell the public know some of the genocide that occurred closely to avoid another genocide in the world. Of course not possible to explain all of human history and made a note to genocide less than 60 known to this day.
This is some of the genocide
Turkey’s geography; 1915 before and after the Christian peoples, EZiD the Jews, Alevis and Kurdish genocide as applied to the Kizilbash.
Adolf Hitler in Germany; Jews, Roma, sexual spouse and applied to approximately 6 million people with disabilities as genocide.
Spain and the United States; Genocide implemented by indigenous peoples, the Indians,
America, Japan; Nagasaki with atomic bombs and genocide perpetrated by Hiroşimo at. In Australia, the British; Genocide perpetrated on indigenous peoples, Aboriginals,
Saddam’s Iraq / in Halabja; Kurds and Assyrians made to genocide
Central Africa in Rwanda: the genocide of Tutsis and moderate Hutus. 1 million people were massacred in 100 days.
Buddhists in Burma; Genocide perpetrated against Muslims.
Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the war, especially in Srebrenica -H; Applied to domestic Muslim genocide.
Norwegians; Nomads of the genocide committed by isolating kısırlaştırarak and concentration camps …
Israel; Palestine and Gaza, genocide perpetrated genocide against Muslims that people still continue.
Islamic terrorist groups in Syria FSA; Christian peoples (Armenians, Assyrians, Arabs) and Nusayri (Arab Alevis) genocide perpetrated their faith. As we have seen people come from no spoon milk is not flowing. In the past alive this day genocide against all humanity need to fight for the glory.
And what on earth is the pain that these days, especially in the Islamic geography, genocide continues. Last added another new date for genocide since June. History continues to write this genocide.
Isidor terrorist organization (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) 2014 genocide that began in Iraq in June: the Shia, Assyrians, Armenians, Ezidis, Kurds and Turkmen were faced with a genocide inhumane. Rape, beheading, forced on to be circumcised, 5-6 year-old child with Islamic marriage, the sale of women’s slave market, capitation taxes, the bombing of churches and monasteries, 7000 women’s genocide still applied by the hearing performed a series of atrocities like to know the whereabouts still remain. Approximately 55 days Kobani’yi Isidor encounter great resistance in the face of the common will of the people must be defeated and will be back.
In our recent history in the Middle East region, especially with our neighboring peoples, the process began with the so-called Arab Spring has experienced great suffering. After the so-called Arab Spring in Syria and is survived genocide in Iraq continues to brutally alive before the eyes of the world.
June 9, 2014 the hearing of the attack as a result of first starting with the fall of Mosul this bloody process Assyrians, the main dormitory Iraq-Musul- starting painful days with the massacres and deportations were kept alive in Nineveh, Sengal in the EZiD, Telafar in the Alevis this day continues with the persecution of the Kurdish people Kobani’de. YPG-HPG- PYD- YPJ-PKK and the remaining peshmerga have to support Kobani’yi results determined resistance in the US, created the monster now hear offers great support for the Kurdish people to take the Kobani’yi. First is war, then give support. Lagging is applied to a full American imperialist policy that in Islamic countries. These days, hundreds of thousands displaced because of these policies has been the dormitory, opened in the Zemheri, shabby, lives with health and food issues.
Hooray for the Kurdish people in Iraq and Syria resisted. Long live the world in support of the oppressed peoples of the Kurdish people living Kobani’de and genocide …

An Inconvenient Genocide: Who Now Remembers the Armenians? by Geoffrey Robertson (Video)

November 6, 2014 By administrator

9780857986337The most controversial issue left over from the First World War – was there an Armenian Genocide? – comes to a head on 24 April 2015, when Armenians throughout the world commemorate the centenary of the murder of 1.5 million – over half – of their people, at the hands of the Ottoman Turkish government. Turkey continues to deny it ever happened – or if it did, that the killings were justified.

This has become a vital international issue. Twenty national parliaments have voted to recognise the genocide, but Britain equivocates and President Obama is torn between Congress, which wants recognition, and the US military, afraid of alienating an important NATO ally. In Australia three state governments have recognised the genocide (despite threats to ban their MPs from Gallipoli), but the Abbott government has told the Turks that Australia does not.

Geoffrey Robertson QC despises this mendacity. His book proves beyond reasonable doubt that the horrific events of 1915 – witnessed by Australian POWs – constituted the crime against humanity that is known today as genocide. In this book he explains how democratic countries can combat genocide denial without denying free speech, and makes a major contribution to understanding and preventing this worst of all crimes. His renowned powers of advocacy are on full display, as he condemns all those – from Sri Lanka to the Sudan, from Old Anatolia to modern Gaza – who try to justify the mass murder of children and civilians in the name of military necessity.

French-Armenians launch active campaign ahead of Genocide centennial 1915-2015

November 1, 2014 By administrator

french-armenianAhead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, a civic group of French-Armenians has launched a website as part of the pan-national efforts towards raising awareness of the tragic event and demanding recognition and reparation.

Speaking to Tert.am, Hrachya Aslanyan, Head of the Diaspora Ministry’s Department of Armenian Communities of Europe, said the campaign, “#2015RTAG. Recognize The Armenian Genocide”, has been initiated by Armenians of Marseilles under the leadership of the community activists Ani Stepanov and Richard Findikyan.

“My connection with this initiative is limited only to the extent that I am from Marseilles, and I was asked to offer my assistance to make the movement more popular. I informed the minister of the initiative, and the very first day, she was photographed with the poster [bearing the slogan] ‘#2015RTAG. Recognize The Armenian Genocide’ and later spread it. First Lady Rita Sargsyan and Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosyan followed suit; they were later joined by Fetin Çetin, an ethnic Armenian lawyer in the Hrant Dink [case], and well-known public figures,” he said.

Aslanyan added that the Ministry later called for active efforts towards involving all the Diaspora communities, individuals, officials and foreign legislators in the movement.

The group later embarked on creating the seven-language website which has already attracted over 6,000 fans on Facebook since its launch last week.

“If we achieve something great, we’ll clearly decide on, and coordinate with different communities, the next steps. We are now planning on a footage featuring scenes of Genocide, each episode of which will be introduced by well-known Armenians from across the globe,” he said, expressing further his hope that the initiative will really gain popularity.

Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan says she really feels happy that the initiators were Marseilles-Armenians and local city authorities. “We, naturally, work with our communities every day, and our first approach was that we have to be a direct participant. As different public figures visit the Ministry, we offer them to join the movement,” she said.

Hakobyan described the move as a major moral impetus in terms of raising the youth’s awareness of history. “I think recognition is a for politicians of those countries which are still lingering and haven’t recognized the Genocide to date,” she added.
The minister said she believes that the initiative will have a great impact on the world community, whose active involvement in the campaign will be a great stimulus in moving ahead with the Genocide recognition efforts. “Our slogan is, I Remember and Demand. And remembering, we demand the reinstatement of the lost rights, the community and pan-national rights.”

The minister further hailed the Greek parliament’s September 9 bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide. “I think any step is a success,” she said, adding that she doesn’t any surprise move by Turkey ahead of April 24. “I don’t think Turkey will recognize the Genocide on or ahead of the centennial day, but Turkey too, faces an identity crisis, with the society beginning to recognize its history. And that’s a fact. That’s an outcome of the movement. The fact that hundreds and thousands of people in Turkey have started identifying themselves is already a big achievement.”

USC to host event on ‘Denial of State Violence’ “Fatma Müge Göçek, Professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies”

October 31, 2014 By administrator

184222Fatma Müge Göçek, Professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan, will be the guest of the USC Institute of Armenian Studies on Wednesday, Nov 5, MassisPost reports.

Entitled “What Happened and Why – The Denial of State Violence,” Dr. Göçek will speak about the centuries of collective violence against the Armenians, beginning in the Ottoman period and continuing through the republican period, until today. USC Professor of Religious Studies, Dr. Donald Miller, who is also Executive Director of USC’s Center for Religion and Civic Culture, will be guiding the discussion.

Dr. Göçek, a Turkish-born historical sociologist, has focused on the comparative analysis of history, politics and gender in the first and third worlds. She has analyzed the impact of processes such as development, nationalism, religious movements and collective violence on minorities. Her most recent book is an Oxford University Press publication called The Denial of Violence. Her other books include Constructions of Nationalism in the Middle East (SUNY Press, 2002), The Transformation of Turkey: Redefining State and Society from the Ottoman Empire to the Modern Era (I.B. Tauris Publishers, 2011), and A Question of Genocide: Armenians and Turks at the End of the Ottoman Empire (Oxford University Press, 2011 co-edited with Ronald Grigor Suny and Norman Naimark.)

Dr. Donald Miller is a professor of religion and sociology. He has conducted extensive research on religion and social change, religion and community organizing, social ethics, immigrant religious communities in Los Angeles, and the Armenian and Rwandan genocides. He heads the USC Center on Religion and Civic Culture.

Salpi Ghazarian, the director of the USC Institute of Armenian Studies, said, “We invite the community to join us for this program at the USC campus. This is not a lecture. It’s a conversation between two people who have spent many years studying why and how states inflict violence on their own peoples. Dr. Göçek’s research goes on to try to decipher the roots of the denial that has followed, specifically in the case of state violence against the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. This is critical to understanding the present and future state of Armenian-Turkish relations.”
