    A group called the "Saturday Mothers of Turkey, which has been
    gathering in Istanbul since 1995 to seek information regarding their
    sons disappeared under police protection, commemorated some 220
    Armenian intellectuals detained by Ottoman officials in April 1915.

    This past Saturday, the mothers, who had assembled in Galatasary Square
    for the 422nd time, held aloft photos of their lost sons along with
    black and white photos of the Armenian intellectuals.

    Hanife Yildiz, a Saturday mother, said his son's disappearance is
    due to the lack of facing the truth behind the "Union and Progress"
    mentality that led to the disappearance of Armenians in 1915.
