Attacks, that have taken place in recent years, and which are making
Istanbul Armenians terrified, continue to be ignored by the Turkish
authorities. This subject was again mentioned by the Istanbul Armenian
newspaper Agos in the article "Turkey is silent - attacks continue."
The correspondent of Agos writes:
The attacks on elderly Armenian women in Samatya were added by another
one. They do not find any trace of the murder of Maritza Kucuk and
attacks on elderly Armenian women continue, in the evening of January
22, at about 5p.m., 80-year-old Sultan Haykar was attacked. An Armenian
woman was beaten at the time she was entering into the building. The
assailant was dressed in black and was wearing a mask.
The women's screams were heard by the neighbors and they came to her
help, the assailant escaped. Eyewitnesses claim that on the corner
2 people were "following" the actions of the attacker.
Responses to the brutal murder on December 28, of Samata Maritza,
who lived alone in Kucuk, are still ongoing. Before she was killed,
she was also tortured.
After the latest attack, members of the union rights movement in Turkey
"Say no to racism and nationalism" and other public organizations
visited the police of Aksaray, talked for an hour with the officials
in the police, and then spoke at the press conference.
Chairman of the Istanbul branch of the Union of Human Rights in
Turkey Umit Efen said that they are concerned, as occuring one after
another attacks are similar to specially organized and carried out
actions on the ground of hate. He recalled the style of the attacks:
they occur against the elderly, defenseless Armenians.
Speaker of the "Say no to racism and nationalism" movement Cengiz
Algan stressed his concern that the attacks on the Armenian women
have been organized. He said that they have demanded a meeting with
the governor of Istanbul Hussein Avni Mutlu to discuss the mentioned
incidents and take preventive measures.
