December 23, 2014 15:31
Yerevan /Mediamax/. The presentation of "100 Years...True Stories"
book was held in Yerevan today.
The book comprises 50 true unedited stories in which predecessors of
the Armenians who survived the Genocide speak on how their ancestors
had been rescued by Turkish neighbors or friends.
The stories were compiled with joint forces of European Integration
NGO and Armedia Information-Analytical Agency. The compilation of the
stories and publication were carried out within "Turk Who Saved Me"
project funded by the UK government.
Head of European Integration NGO Karen Bekaryan said at the
presentation of the book that the initiative pursued several goals.
"There are people among those Armenians who survived the Genocide and
were rescued by Turkish neighbors, friends or common Turkish people
witnessing the events. The project is aimed at making this public so
as the good step wouldn't be forgotten. We intended to demonstrate
all the segments of fair memory", said Karen Bekaryan.
With the efforts Tursu.tv production company, the Turkish partner of
the project, the stories were published in 8 Turkish media outlets-
Taraf, Zaman, Radikal, Demokrat haber, Evrensel, Yurt and T24.
"Due to the taboos existing in the Turkish society, the stories
were not available to larger masses of the Turkish society. Owing
to the publication of the stories, we attempted to build a bridge
of mutual trust between the Armenian and Turkish societies", noted
Karen Bekaryan.
Columnist of the Turkish partner of the project, T24 media, Aris Nalj,
said in Yerevan today that the unedited version of publications of
the stories in the Turkish media outlets proved that there is nothing
impossible in Turkey.
"We presented what the predecessors of the survived people think
today. On the threshold of 2015, it'll be very interesting to listen
to what the predecessors of the Turks who rescued Armenians during
the Genocide think", said Aris Nalj.
The book is printed in Armenian, Turkish and English. The Turkish
version of the book was presented in Istanbul on December 16.
