Tesekürler Abi Djan

Thanks dear brother.
Needless to say your name won’t be forgiven, as the highly brave and honest one who, against systematically nourished hatred, managed to wake up in mass some Turkish citizens, and finally brought them to show an unexpected brotherhood against the horror of your tragic murder.

The tragic coincidence is that the day he was shot dead, his ancient lawyer, Fethiye Cetin was in France, Paris, for presenting the Armenian translation of her book, and many of the people who were at the lunch table with her nearly faint when she get the shocking news on her cellphone…
So in the press conference she gave to the French medias the same day, of course she mentioned the very hard situation of Dink in this Turkey and his unprevented murder.
Not to say encouraged by Turkish authorities and medias.
As her Armenian translator also observed (Salpy Kasparian, an Armenian journalist of Syria), he has been killed, simply because there are still Armenians on the face of the World, speaking and living Armenian, keeping reminding to the face of Turkey the shame of its past and present crimes. The grandma of Cetin could not even speak Armenian because of the genocide’s “ethnic purification”, but the book of her story is today available in Armenian, isn’t that one more proof of Turkey’s defeat ? And certainly not the last.

Anyway, forgot the author but the quotation stood in my mind “if you want to improve the World, begin by improving yourself”.
Today we get a very sad but also bright proof that the path has been opened beyond all hopes by one star, it’s our duty to go on...
