The Launch of a most fascinating book 'My Grandmother' by Fethiye Cetin
will take place at the Institute of Contemporary Art, The Mall, at 7pm
on 19th June.
Ms Cetin was lawyer of Hrant Dink during his lifetime and is prosecutor
of his murderers after his death.
Her book was a best-seller in Turkey, seven times reprinted. Translated
into French and now English, she tells the story of how her grandmother
hid the fact that she was really an Armenian child torn from her
mother's arms on the Genocide Death March trail and taken for adoption
by a Turkish officer until the very end of her life. It is a wonderful
and moving book. Fetiye Cetin is a great lady, courageous and modest,
who should be honoured.
She will be present personally at the Book Launch on 19th June,
together with Armenian writer and filmmaker Nouritza Matossian, and
Ragip Zarakolu, one of Turkey's best-known dissident publishers.
