Yervant1 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Mr. artist looks like a subtle denier!Turkish artist. "I wish all documents be opened"September 2 2014"I could not come to Armenia, the border there was a true border,"tells a Turkish artist, Serdar Yilmaz, in the conversation with us,referring to his many years ago wish. He was in a number of cities inWestern Armenia: Van, Kars, and so on, was amazed at the Armenianculture, wanted to come to Armenia, too, but the border was closed. Hetells that now he has many friends in Istanbul, and wishes thecommunication between the two nations be constant. I talked to himprior to the event announcing the launching of "Exchange of Painters"project. Recall that the project is implemented under the "Support toArmenia - Turkey normalization process" by "Public Journalism Club"(Armenia) and "Anadolu Kültür" (Turkey). Serdar Yilmaz, a painter,also an associate professor, also professor of Marmara University inIstanbul, said that he was informed about the project by "AnadoluKültür" organization, and he kindly agreed to participate. He hasselected 4 young university students to participate in the project. Itwas important for him that they be of different universities, hasalready got acquainted with them. With regard to the youth, he says,"They do not have a good understanding of the Armenian-Turkishrelations. This project is very interesting to them, they are the newgeneration, and would create something together. They have alreadystarted working together, and they have gone to the museum together. Ithink it is an excellent opportunity to communicate with each other oncultures." I reminded the Turkish famous painter that next year is the100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. "I am trying to explorethe history, and communicate with many others to understand the truth,he said, while noting at the same time that he is an artist, and not aspecialist to full have the information about history. "I wish alldocuments be opened, and everything be open, so that we seeeverything. There are so many cultural values and buildings that areArmenian, he says. He mentions that the issues coming from historyshould be detected, he mentions that it is evident that hundred yearsago Armenians left their historical lands. "We know that this periodcoincided with the World War I, it was a war and so on," he says andthinks that the historical matters should be clarified. Turkish artistbelieves that we need to communicate with each other in diversity ofevents, sharing our thoughts. "We need communication, thus much wouldbe more transparent," says he.Hripsime HOVHANNISYANRead more at: http://en.aravot.am/2014/09/02/166743/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnK_f6cyzAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onjig Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 This brings up feelings, brings them to the surface. Grandfather, Mother's Father, never lived to see America. Mama's family came to America in the late 1800's, They came after a massacre in Adana, the few that survived. Coming forward in time to a massacre in Dicranagertz, Medtzhyer, Father's Father, who owned a Silk Factory, took in the surviving children, over 300, eventually moving them and the family to Karpert, that another story. The Orcs have been murdering us from the day the poured like cokroaches into our mountains. There was a great killing during what is called the Genocide, 1915, also. It has always been Genocide! That's why we today are few. Now and then one, or some, of us may sit with a Orc and have tea, little finger turned up or not. That's very nice. They/we can talk about "Normalization" with their fingers crossed behind their backs or serious. This, the dealings the Armenian Nation has with the Orcs is Normal. If there were no one else on earth but we Armenians and the Orks, with the Orcs on both sides, as they are today, over 40 million Orcs and the few million Armenian that they had not been able to kill. Is there anyone who does not know what would happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
