Turkish intellectuals have started signature gathering in defense of
`pro-Armenian' Azerbaijani writer Acram Aylisli, Armenian-Turkish Agos
paper based in Istanbul writes.
`We worry for Aylisli's life and condemn Azerbaijani authoritarian
president Aliyev's threats and provocations. We call on Justice and
Development party leader, Turkish PM Erdogan to undertake steps over
the issue. Keeping silence about this case means being complicit,' the
Turkish intellectuals have written.
Turkish publisher, writer Racip Zarakolu urged in his article
published in Agos to support the Azerbaijani writer. Turkish Greens
and Right party, Turkish Writers Union responded to the call.
Azerbaijani poet Suna Arasli also joined the signature gathering.
Aylisli's Stone Dreams book has been strictly criticized in Azerbaijan
because of being a pro-Armenian. The writer has already been deprived
of all state awards and was removed from the rows of Writers' Union.
