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."

journalists Ece Temelkuran, Ali Bayramoglu, professors Baskin Oran,
Ahmet Insel and Cengiz Aktar, writer Perihan Magden, mathematician

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
