Things are still heating up during the meetings in Yerevan
with Hasan Jemal, grandson of perpetrator of the Armenian Genocide Jemal Pasha.
On December 12, young Armenian Turkologists had the chance to ask Jemal the
questions that they weren’t able to ask during the presentation of the Armenian
version of Hasan Jemal’s book 1915: Armenian Genocide (during the presentation,
the audience had complained about not having the opportunity to ask their
questions-ed.). During the meeting held in the Faculty of Oriental Studies at
Yerevan State University, students clearly reaffirmed their claims for
recognition of the Armenian Genocide and their persistence to have the historic
Armenian lands returned.
According to “ArmenPress”, in the beginning, Deputy Dean of
the YSU Faculty of Oriental Studies Ruben Melkonyan reminded Jemal that the
students hadn’t come to applaud his efforts, but to receive answers to their
questions of concern. Although Turkish journalist, writer Hasan Jemal reiterated
that he was ready to answer any question, he overtly dodged the questions and
made short statements, and this caused the students’ anger. One of the
students, who wanted to make Jemal Pasha’s grandson understand that the members
of ASALA have nothing to do with bandits or terrorist groups, as Hasan stated
yesterday, and that they are avengers, held a sign reading “We Are All Nemesis,
We Are All Dzaghigian” (ed.-Stepan Dzaghigian participated in the death
sentencing of Jemal Pasha in Tbilisi in 1922 within the frames of the Nemesis
Operation).
