    HRANT DINK FOUNDATION PUBLISHES 2012 "AGENDA" DEVOTED TO HISTORIC TRIALS

    The Hrant Dink Foundation's 2012 Agenda has been published. The theme
    this year is "Trials" and just like in previous years the agenda is
    in three languages Turkish, English and Armenian.

    The 2012 Agenda "Trials" is a modest tribute to mankind's ongoing quest
    for justice starting from early ages of humanity and to the advocates
    of rights, law and justice who - sooner or later - were able to reach
    the light at the end of the tunnel in their quest for justice.

    The agenda covers various types of trials including some show trials
    which were made up of trump-up charges and pre-set judgments, trials
    which witnessed the victory of the truth, trials which called for
    the account of persecution inflicted by people upon other people or
    of the crimes committed by the state.

    Vahan Bayatyan who is an Armenian conscientious objector, Jane Rose
    who claimed her right to abortion, John Scopes who was punished in
    the Scope's Monkey Trial for teaching evolution are among the people
    whose struggles are mentioned in "Trials".

    The Agenda also features some examples of trials and justice struggles
    from Turkey's recent history such as the trial of Seyid Rıza by
    the military court, the case of YeÅ~_ilyurt villagers where the
    ECHR convicted Turkey, the Supreme Court ruling which described
    the minority foundations as "foreigners" in their native country,
    the Festus Okey trial and the Susurluk trial.

    There are fifty three trials of historical importance presented in
    the Agenda covering each week of the calendar year and accompanied by
    about sixty photographs many of which are deeply wired in the visual
    memory of humanity.

    Apart from the official dates for Turkey, the Agenda also features
    important dates and feasts of Muslims, Alevis, Armenians, Greeks,
    Assyrians and Kurds. The previous thematic agendas published by the
    Hrant Dink Foundation were published under the titles "Crowds" and
    "Armenia".
