WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Today there are
a lot of people who are afraid of pronouncing the word "Genocide". But
there are of course some peole who write bold articles and say bold
announcements. According to the Armenian daily Asbarez, two truthful
and bold articles are written on the Armenian Genocide: the first by
a Righteous Jew, editor of the Intermountain Jewish News of Denver,
Colorado, and the second by a Righteous Turk, commentator Burak Bekdil
of Hurriyet Daily News.

The editor of the Intermountain Jewish News mostly has commented
Israel’s leaders who have been playing immoral games with the Armenian
Genocide, just to appease the Turkish government.

Liberal Turkish commentator Burak Bekdil is boldly suggesting that
the Turkish government make a list of all its past crimes, adopt a
resolution in Parliament led by the AKP party, and issue an apology
to the victims. He specifically mentions the Armenian Genocide among
Turkey’s past crimes. According to the Armenian daily Asbarez, Burak
Bekdil several years ago received a suspended 20-month sentence for
writing an article that criticized the Turkish judiciary.

"The Armenian organizations should pay tribute to these two righteous
men for daring to condemn their own leaders and expose their lies on
the Armenian Genocide!," Asbarez reported.
