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.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
