Hrant Dink: This Heart Will Never Go Silent!

by Ender Yilmaz

Those who killed Hrant Dink are” shouted one speaker at Taksim square sit-in yesterday evening “those who don’t want people’s fraternity, …those who killed 1.5 million Armenians, … those who exiled hundreds of thousands of Kurds from their villages, …those who created Sivas, Çorum, Maraş massacres, …those who represent the rotten gang order of this country…”.

Hrandt Dink, an Armenian journalist and a leftist intellectual, was a firm supporter of a society without nationalisms. He was found guilty in October 2005 of insulting Turkish identity after he wrote an article which addressed the Armenian genocide. He said that he would go to Paris and say that there was no Armenian genocide, if the Armenian genocide law passed in the French parliament. He got lots of threats. He represented the line of true intellectuals which every country has.

The Istanbul sit-in to protest his murder began in the afternoon and ended at 8 p.m. with a one-hour-long march to his newspaper, Agos. Estimates of the participants range between 5 and 15 thousand. There were also other protests in Ankara, Izmir and Bursa. Some of the slogans in Istanbul protest were: “We all are Armenians, we all are Kurds”, "Obsinately we all are Armenians", “We all are Hrant’s, we all are Armenians”, “Long live people’s fraternity” (in Turkish, Kurdish and Armenian), “The ropes of the murderer is in the hands of the state”, “Murderer state will pay back”, “Side by side against fascism”, “Time will come, the order will change, fascist murderers will pay back to the people” etc.

Flags of the ex-“social-democratic” new-center Republican People’s Party (CHP) were burned (its building was near to the Agos newspaper and people cut the flags hanging between the street lamps) and people shouted: “CHP is not the people’s, but the fascists’ party”, “Fascist Baykal (leader of the CHP)”, “Baykal! We are Kurds, shoot us too”.

Coincidentally (!) fascist gangs continued their provocations at Istanbul and Mimar Sinan Universities yesterday. In the morning, a gang of 30-40 people (mostly outside the university) managed to enter the university (security guards probably displayed extreme benevolence to them which they don’t have for leftist students) and walked in the campus for leftists. In the evening a group of students at the sit-in should leave to save the students at the Mimar Sinan University campus in Beşiktaş from the fascist gang blocking the exit.

Nobody knows really what is being aimed at with this murder. Fascist sites are rejoicing. Some conservative people even argue that it is the work of the Armenian Diaspora. The mainstream media is very sad (a sadness they didn’t have either for the persecution of Hrant Dink before or for the massacred Armenians).

Hrant Dink represented the moderate Armenian who wanted to let the Turkish people understand our violent past and also present, and knew that interventions from first world states created nothing but xenophobia dressed under the cover of anti-imperialism. We will feel his absence more, when the occasional quick "debates" about ethnic and religious minorities partially enter the mainstream media. We will have more and more fruitless debates - better to call them quarrels - between more and more nationalist sides. We should further his anti-nationalist line. Only this can overcome the lack of this valuable friend and stop inter-ethnic conflicts. Only then Hrant Dink can live as if he were still speaking and writing, as if he had not been murdered. As the protesters were singing yesterday evening:

There is no death for us
This heart will never go silent.

I think Hrant Dink is a real hero. He knew he could be killed, but he continued talking about truth=Genocide. He will live forever , even with his death he will help the recognition of the Genocide by Turkey.

One day Turkey will have no choice but to accept it.

And thanks to God now it is not 1915, that again Turkish government can kill 2 million Armenians and nobody will know about it....

Times are changed, it is better for Turkish nation to change as well and accept the Genocide and live with peace with its neighbors.

how can you explain the fact Turkey doesn’t open its borders with Armenia.

Turkey Are you afraid of that small country Armenia, or you afraid of the Truth, you afraid of Hrant DinkS ...??/?

Wake up...Turkey...you cant do more Genocides....STOP.....

Nationalist Turkish (and even Kurdish) people usually criticize claims of Armenian genocide in 2 ways- one is claiming armenians with killing innocent local people and insurrection - the other one is claiming imperialist states (such as France, US and others) causing lots of such massacres in their own history and using Armenians to attack Turkey in the international arena.

both may be true in -some sense- but none of them can justify any genocide or massacre. lots of people (and states) have killed other innocent people in the past and still being continued to be killed... lots of different groups of people have revolted but as anarchists we should know that state's invervention, repression or massacre always acted/acts as a factor preventing people to have freedom. on the other hand, in the history of 20th century Armenian genocide was probably the first among such massacres both in the sense of numbers and the explicit identity of the relevant people that were involved. even Hitler had said "now- who remember armenians?" - in his answer to a question about discrimination of jewish people.

I believe that state politics should not bother us- it is their own platform not ours. they may think and decide whatever they want.. h.dink himself also believed that changes should come from the basement from the grassroot level not from above.

imageInternational statement of solidarity with the 51 anti-fascists who were arrested in Thessaloniki, G... Sep 27 0 comments

In the evening of 16/9/2020 at Thessaloniki, Greece, during a social intervention, anti-fascists were collectively erasing fascist hate slogans and graffiti, which were written a few days earlier by members of the new neo-Nazi party “Greeks for Fatherland” (Έλληνες για την Πατρίδα) - founded by Ilias Kassidiaris, an ex-representative of the Nazi party “Golden Dawn” (Χρυσή Αυγή) – and replacing them by antifascist graffiti instead. Around 10:30 PM our comrades were surrounded by a large group of police forces that attacked them without reason. Fifty-one comrades were taken into custody to the Police General Headquarters in Thessaloniki and kept there 2 to 4 days under the most deplorable conditions. In total, fifteen of them were injured while another two were even admitted to the hospital due to the heavy injuries caused by the police officers involved in the attack. Both during the arrest and under custody, the police did not cease to provoke and abuse their power - the ability to rule and control given to them by the state -, attempting to break the spirit of our comrades.

imageCoup is the State, Revolution is Liberty! Jul 20 DAF 0 comments

The coup, which has been an inevitable reality of the state presence in this geography since the military coup of 1980, arose after 36 years, on the night of July 15. Many state buildings were blocked for a few hours during the military mobilisation based in Istanbul and Ankara. The coup started with flypast of fighter jets in Ankara and blocking of bridges in Istanbul by soldiers, and continued with taking hostage of chief of general staff and tank noise and gun shots in the streets. Many state buildings were shot by F16s and helicopters including the parliament building and the headquarters of National Intelligence Organisation; There were clash of arms in many places between soldiers and police. Following the events, national state television broadcast was cut and the coup declaration signed 'Peace at Home Council'' was read. When the ''5 Hour Coup'' ended, more than one hundred soldiers, more than eighty police officers and more than eighty anti-coup protesters died. 2839 soldiers, among them many high ranked ones, were taken into custody.

The umbrella organisation of the Kurdish movement, the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) Executive Council Co-Presidency, has released a statement about last night's coup attempt in Turkey.

The statement said; “There has been a coup attempt by persons whose identity and purpose is yet not clear. This attempt comes just before the military council meeting, where Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was reportedly going to assign generals close to himself to the army's top tier. Another striking dimension of the coup attempt is that it comes at a time when discussions about the fascist AKP government's foreign policy, were taking place.”
