Açık Yaralar: Ermeniler Türkler ve Bir Yüzyıllık Soykırım

In 2007, the assassination of Hrant Dink, one of the most effective peace advocates, sparked discussions about the extermination of Ottoman Armenians. In the following period, many Turks began to reflect on the pain of keeping secret the stories of their grandparents being forcibly Islamized and Turkified. And the Armenian properties seized by the Turkish state began to be discussed in public; Books dealing with the extermination of minorities began to be published. The silence was now broken.

We know when the Armenian Genocide began; However, unlike, say, World War I or the Holocaust, we do not have a date for when it ended. Because Turkey always denies that it has done anything wrong, and this denial poisons the lives of not only the survivors but also the perpetrators. The Armenian Genocide is the first modern genocide in which a modern state defines some of its own people as "undesirable". Instead of protecting its citizens, a state drives them into the desert; steals their goods; He kidnaps his children. But even after a hundred years, the exact name of this crime cannot be given. We are at a point where the serial killer has been considered a role model for a hundred years. A world that has failed to bring to justice a genocide that took place a hundred years ago lacks the courage and moral integrity to address today's wrongs. As long as the denial of the Armenian Genocide continues and therefore justice is not served, we will never say "Never again!" We cannot say. It is not for nothing that Noam Chomsky describes the Armenian Genocide as the most effective ethnic cleansing ever, as this crime against humanity has still not been acknowledged.

The book in your hands focuses on the profound impact on the people of a state sweeping systematic ethnic cleansing under the carpet for a century.
