Our Dead Have Names

YOURI DJORKAEFF (International Soccer player, World champion 1998, currently in the team of the Metro Stars of New York), and

49 Actors of the Armenian Diaspora launch a Call to the 9 Million Armenians of planet.

 

 

INTERNATIONAL CALL TO THE ARMENIAN DIASPORA

Worldwide Campaign “Our Dead Have Names”

 

On April 24, 2006, the Armenian community will commemorate the Genocide of 1915 which was perpetrated by the Young Turk government of Ottoman Empire. This will be the 91st commemoration. 90 too many ! Historical revisionism by the State, wich has overstepped its boundaries since 2005 (when the Republic of Turkey began negotiations for entry in the European Union), is drowning us out and thereby prolonging Armenocide.

 

In turn, our sons and daughters should not have to struggle to make the Turkish State recognize the ignominy of the Genocide inflicted on our people. Their future should be normal and happy within a society that has made peace with itself. This is why we are making a solemn call to the whole community so that every one of its members can witness the drama that has affected them personally on 1915.

 

We are asking men and women from all continents to stand vigilant, as the memory of the Martyrs is decried, as unprecedented violence is being inflicted on the sons and daughters of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide, and as the very existence of our identity, symbolized by the vestiges of our culture, is being willfully wiped out.

 

Today, Armenians are the target of the denial of the crime of which their parents were innocent victims.

 

Scorned, bruised, exasperated, but nevertheless Armenian, we have to tell the world, once and for all, that the time for geopolitical procrastination has passed. We are not claiming to be victims, but protesters for simple justice. The first of these is to allow us to pay respect to our graveless parents' remains. We will do this on April 24, as we have done every year since 1916. In the absence of burial sites, www.inhomage.com enables every one of us to write in the names of those who lost their lives on our ancestral soil. Once this has been done, another task will be invoked: to insure the permanent recognition of the Genocide of the Armenian people and the inevitable consequences of recognition.

 

Just like a petition, the recording of the names of the victims will become a recognized document render to the United Nations, the only institution whose competence in this area is acknowledged by Turkey.

 

Brought to task, the Turkish government has embarked on an unprecedented campaign of denial of strength of which Armenians would again be the victims.

The time has come for all Armenians to resist.

 

Therefore, on the occasion of the 91st commemoration of this human cataclysm, we call upon each of to resist falling into silent consent by visiting the website now at www.inhomage.com to see for yourselves and to help show that our dead have names. This is our duty.

 

To honor the memory of our 1,500,000 Martyrs, please pass this information on to other descendants of victims.
