In Words Of American Armenian Actor, Armenian Youth Cannot Be Silent

IN WORDS OF AMERICAN ARMENIAN ACTOR, ARMENIAN YOUTH CANNOT BE SILENT
AND TOLERATE HRANT DINK’S MURDER

YEREVAN, JANUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. "We cannot be
silent: we should show the world that the Armenian youth is angry and
will not tolerate recurrence of such incidence." American Armenian
actor Manuel Kanian declared this in his interview to Noyan Tapan
correspondent. He took part in the action of protest organized by
youth and student organizations on January 22 in Yerevan, in connection
with the murder of Istanbul’s Agos weekly’s editor Hrant Dink.

As M.Kanian affirmed, the cause of Hrant Dink’s murder was not so
much his being Armenian but the latter’s statements on the fact
of the Armenian Genocide made lately in Turkey, where mentioning
about the Genocide is convicted by the law. In his words, if even
the murderer is a fan acting on his own initiative, all the same,
"Turkish government is responsible for the crime, as maybe not openly,
but it seeds hatred towards Armenians among the country’s population."

The young American Armenian actor who currently resides in Canada is in
Armenia due to the invitation to be shot in the film "Don’t be Afraid"
shot lately by the Public Television. In Manuel Kanian’s words, at
present he in on leave, but he has creative plans for the future. The
actor will take part in the film "A Warm Story in a Cold Town" of film
director David Safarian, the shootings of which will start in February.
