The Armenian Genocide and its denial are a major cause of the problems
Turkey faces today, says a Turkish human rights activist.
Speaking to Tert.am, Ayse Gunaysu, a member of the Istanbul-based
Human Rights Association, described denialism as a kind of curse upon
the country and condemnation. She said Turkey hasn't seen peace ever
since, with the bloodsheds going on and the Kurdish rebellions
following one another. Gunaysu, who is also a columnist for the
Armenian Weekly, noted that Turkey, has no real democracy, despite the
military coups that occurred repeatedly.
The Turkish activist thinks the country has to find itself in the
position of a loser to realize the importance of treating others well.
Characterizing victory as a poisonous thing and defeat - as an
instructive tool, Gunaysu noted at the end that the quality of life
became poorer in the country after it lost its best brains (Armenians,
Greeks etc.).
