Kardaki Kan

Each narrator acts as a gateway to the other's passage by making a difference to the extent of his/her own experiences and testimonies and by making progress in the literary sense. Just like the one traveling on the path leaves traces under the weight of his own steps and becomes a path for those after him. This becomes such a local tissue that it becomes identified with the flesh and blood of the living and of those who are no longer there with their bodies. That district or region, valley or hill is remembered with its name and memory. What makes literature and testimony unique is that nothing similar can provide the same feeling and taste. The effort to make a local date as Dersim '96 and '97 and to convey it in a literary style is to overcome a non-aesthetic historiography. This is both to save the experience from the boringness of the event and to singularize the people of that time with what only they could experience. It is loyalty to the feeling with which they left their mark on this world, in a breach in their own atmosphere. A spilled drop of blood, a leaf from a notebook; It is loyalty to the fact that they have touched this life, as much as the dried flower pressed between the leaves, or the letter or imprint buried in the ground under the guarantee of a glass jar.
