Within a month, on April 24, 2015, the Armenian community
will commemorate the Genocide of 1915 which was perpetrated by the Young Turks
government of Ottoman Empire. In turn, our sons and daughters should not have
to struggle to make the Turkish State recognize the ignominy of the Genocide
inflicted on our people. Their future should be normal and happy within a
society that has made peace with itself. This is why we are making a solemn
call to the whole community so that every one of its members can witness the
drama that has affected them personally on 1915.
We are asking men and women from all continents to stand
vigilant, as the memory of the Martyrs is decried, as unprecedented violence is
being inflicted on the sons and daughters of the survivors of the Armenian
Genocide, and as the very existence of our identity, symbolized by the vestiges
of our culture, is being willfully wiped out.
Today, Armenians are the target of the denial of the
crime of which their parents were innocent victims.
Scorned, bruised, exasperated, but nevertheless Armenian,
we have to tell the world, once and for all, that the time for geopolitical
procrastination has passed. We are not claiming to be victims, but protesters
for simple justice. The first of these is to allow us to pay respect to our
graveless parents' remains. We will do this on April 24, as we have done every
year since 1916. In the absence of burial sites, www.inhomage.com , website I
created on 2005 (only online), enables every one of us to write in the names of
those who lost their lives on our ancestral soil. Once this has been done,
another task will be invoked: to insure the permanent recognition of the
Genocide of the Armenian people and the inevitable consequences of recognition.
Brought to task, the Turkish government has embarked on
an unprecedented campaign of denial of strength of which Armenians would again
be the victims.
Therefore, on the occasion of the 100th commemoration of
this human cataclysm, we call upon each of to resist falling into silent
consent by visiting the website now at www.inhomage.com to see for yourselves
and to help show that our dead have names. This is our duty.
