Dogan Akhanlı, is a Turkish intellectual living in Berlin, who has
recognized and condemned the Armenian Genocide.
He has written a play entitled "A Mother's Silence" that tells the
story of a Turkish girl raised in Germany who one day notices the
tattoo of an Armenian cross on her mother's chest.
The play was performed yesterday at Berlin's Unterm Dach Theater to
a packed audience of Germans, Armenians and Turks.
"The Armenian Genocide is not past history that took place some 100
years ago. It is very real today and impacts our lives today. We must
change the people's mentality by talking about the issue. And I, as
a man of the theater, am trying to make my voice reach the people,"
notes Akhanlı.
