The Hrant Dink Foundation's 2012 Agenda has been published. The theme
this year is "Trials" and just like in previous years the agenda is
in three languages Turkish, English and Armenian.
The 2012 Agenda "Trials" is a modest tribute to mankind's ongoing quest
for justice starting from early ages of humanity and to the advocates
of rights, law and justice who - sooner or later - were able to reach
the light at the end of the tunnel in their quest for justice.
The agenda covers various types of trials including some show trials
which were made up of trump-up charges and pre-set judgments, trials
which witnessed the victory of the truth, trials which called for
the account of persecution inflicted by people upon other people or
of the crimes committed by the state.
Vahan Bayatyan who is an Armenian conscientious objector, Jane Rose
who claimed her right to abortion, John Scopes who was punished in
the Scope's Monkey Trial for teaching evolution are among the people
whose struggles are mentioned in "Trials".
The Agenda also features some examples of trials and justice struggles
from Turkey's recent history such as the trial of Seyid Rıza by
the military court, the case of YeÅ~_ilyurt villagers where the
ECHR convicted Turkey, the Supreme Court ruling which described
the minority foundations as "foreigners" in their native country,
the Festus Okey trial and the Susurluk trial.
There are fifty three trials of historical importance presented in
the Agenda covering each week of the calendar year and accompanied by
about sixty photographs many of which are deeply wired in the visual
memory of humanity.
Apart from the official dates for Turkey, the Agenda also features
important dates and feasts of Muslims, Alevis, Armenians, Greeks,
Assyrians and Kurds. The previous thematic agendas published by the
Hrant Dink Foundation were published under the titles "Crowds" and
"Armenia".
