International correspondents of The Independent newspaper summed up
2012 events, describing the most memorable moments in the past year.
The most memorable event for Robert Fisk was the meeting with
representatives of the Armenian community in the Middle East.
According to him, he had never seen an audience more touched and
brought to tears than the one that appeared in front of him in
Sharjah last spring. At the meeting photographs of the Armenian
"death march" in Erzurum were shown: the elderly and young people,
who were condemned to death in Turkey.
"The four photos were taken by Victor Pitchman, Austrian soldier of
Turkish army, who could not know that these men and women will die
soon. They walk in a straight line down the road: women in headscarves,
overloaded donkeys through trees in the photo, with a pale line of
hills on the horizon. All Armenians of Erzerum were to die at the
hands of the Turks during the Genocide of 1915," Fisk wrote.
