    TURKISH CIVIL SOCIETY FORCES HAND OF ITS GOVERNMENT

    DE FACTO
    Dec 17, 2008
    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, 17.12.08. DE FACTO. Thousands of Turkish people sign each
    day a petition launched by important Turkish personalities be sorry
    to the Armenians, an independent French journalist Jean Eckian told
    DE FACTO. "My conscience does not accept the insensitivity showed to
    and the denial of the Great Calamity that befell the Ottoman Armenians
    in 1915. I reject this injustice and for my share, I empathize with
    the feelings and pain of my Armenian brothers. I apologize to them."

    Known as a part of the text signed as of its launching by the
    journalists Ece Temelkuran, Ali Bayramoglu, professors Baskin Oran,
    Ahmet Insel and Cengiz Aktar, writer Perihan Magden, mathematician
    Ali Nesin, sociologist Nilufer Gole and the historian Fikret Adanir.

    Thus, since the assassination of the journalist Hrant Dink, the threats
    physical on many intellectuals Turkish and the judgments pronounced
    under the terms of iniquitous article 301, the Turkish civil society
    decided to take the initiative since the visit of President Gul in
    Yerevan on September 6, 2008.

    In one day, the petition was signed by more than 8, 000 people.

    Now, the question is to know, that will be the reaction of the Turkish
    government while the international press has already seized this news.
