ARMENIAN MEDIA PRESENTS KURDISH OFFICIALS AS TURKS
Recently a large Kurdish official delegation with 6 mayors and Co-Mayors (Van, Bitlis, Mutki, Norshen, Sur District of Diyarbakir city and several other senior officials) was visiting Hayestan.
The official guests participates also the Sunday’s opening ceremony of the 6th Pan-Armenian Games, on Monday they visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial, and the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute in capital city Yerevan. But as you see here in this link, some Armenian media and journalists (as they do often) present the Kurdish positive acts as “Turkish”. In this article you can not find even a single mention of the word “Kurdish” …
When you ask to those journalists and media via social media, they are saying that they got the “information from the official” and they “don’t know any thing” : ) LINK : http://news.am/eng/news/279922.html
The Kurdish Mayors was : Bekir Kaya, Hatice Çoban, Hüseyin Olan, Özkan Birlik, Emin Özkan and Fatma Şık Barut.
Hi Roni,
I totally Agree with you, we should have done better work because these Kurdish Mayors Bekir Kaya, Hatice Çoban, Hüseyin Olan, Özkan Birlik, Emin Özkan and Fatma Şık Barut. deserves better recognition of risking there live going to Armenia.
from our side I do apologize and I thank you for bringing it to our attention.
