A letter written in the Turkish language, sent to schools and to
several Istanbul based Armenian institutions, is of death threat
for the Armenians which would not conform "to the Turkish official
version of the facts concerning the Armenian Genocide. They will be
regarded as accomplices and traitors, and will be eliminated," the
letter read. This letter with many spelling mistakes was transmitted
by an Armenian school from Istanbul to French association of fight
against negationism "Collectif VAN," independent correspondent Jean
Eckian informs from Paris.

It ends in these words: "The Last Warning and Ultimatum
… …exclamations ‘We are all Armenians, we are all Hrant Dink’
are examples of extreme chauvinism and summons for revolution. Do
not forget that except Armenian citizens of Turkey, there are
also Armenians from Armenia on our land, and they count over 100
thousand. Both their addresses and their workplaces are well known.

Henceforth we hope to see our Armenian citizens as advocates of
truth. "The one which does not take a favourable position for this
paradisiacal fatherland must be eliminated."

And finally it takes again a Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s formula, which
says, " When it acts of the fatherland, the remainder is only one
detail." This mail is signed by a certain Temel Malatyali.
