YEREVAN, JUNE 10, ARMENPRESS: The Turkish organization "Say no to
racism and nationalism" intends to restore the Memorial dedicated
to the Armenian Genocide erected in 1919 but later dismantled in the
Gezi Park in Istanbul's centrally-located Taksim Square. As reported
by Armenpress, this was published by the Turkish information website
demokrathaber.com.
The Spokesperson of "Say no to racism and nationalism" Cengiz Algan
stated that the Memorial erected in the Gezi Park was to commemorate
the victims of the Armenian Genocide and now as well they should not
be forgotten.
Cengiz Algan reminded that the territory of the Gezi Park in
Istanbul's Taksim Square and the adjacent areas belonged to the
Armenians. "In 1560 the territory was presented to the Armenians by
the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent as a token of gratitude for his
life was saved by an Armenian cook. A part of the park was occupied
by the Armenian cemetery. In 1940s the Kemalist dictators snatched
the territory from the Armenians", - stated the Spokesperson of
"Say no to racism and nationalism".
He expressed his hope that some day the Memorial dedicated to the
Armenian Genocide will be erected in its real place.
