    The Armenian Youth Federation of Canada and Armen Karo Student
    Association have launched a joint campaign to call for the release
    of Turkish journalist, publisher, writer and human rights advocate
    Ragıp Zarakolu.

    Several months ago, 40 intellectuals were arrested in Turkey on
    trumped-up charges of terrorism. Among them was Ragıp Zarakolu who
    runs of one of the few publishing houses in the country which prints
    books on the Armenian Genocide and other topics deemed taboo.

    Zarakolu is also a recipient of the National Library Award of the
    Republic of Armenia and a Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

    The "Free Zarakolu" letter-writing campaign kicks off March 8, 2012,
    at the Armenian Community Centre in Toronto.
