US-Armenian band musician and signer Serj Tankian has voiced his
anger over the heated developments in Turkey.
Remembering the Armenian Genocide and the Turkish policies in
relation to the Armenians, the System of a Down Vocalist said it
isn't surprising that the Turkish authorities use pressure against
journalists, denying the crimes of Genocide committed on their land.
"Not surprising that a government that puts journalists in jail
indiscriminately and denies its Genocide of 1.5 million Armenians,
Greeks and Assyrians doesn't hesitate to use force against peaceful
demonstrators," said the singer in his public profile on Facebool.
"Gezi park in Taksim Square, with its surrounding international hotels,
was built on an old Armenian cemetery. It's impossible to hide the
bones of your past with your current demeanor.
"I am appalled by Obama's closeness to this hypocrite named Erdogan,
Turkey's Prime Minister," he added.
