When they should call it love, they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Now, they\u2019re calling it love instead of a CRIME! They want to legitimize violence by using love, just as they describe war as peace. ***<\/p>\n \u201c<\/strong>My brothers and sisters,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>unless we can question the darkness that turned this baby into a murderer, we cannot achieve anything.<\/strong> Rakel Dink had said as she bid her husband farewell [Translator<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s note: Rakel Dink is the wife of Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian intellectual and editor-in-chief of Agosi, who was gunned down by a Turkish nationalist<\/em>]<\/p>\n This is what we need to acknowledge as we try to understand, sense and comprehend a murder in a situation where words fall short, where eyes stare meaninglessly and in despair… Beyond the judgements, curiosity and common reactions such as \u201c<\/strong>who was he\/she, what was it about, where was he\/she from, why did it happen<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong> we must first understand the darkness we have been pushed into.<\/p>\n We must recognize the darkness that grows where freedom, equality, will and civilization have been lost.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n \u201c<\/strong>Violence<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong> does not emerge on its own! They forget the violence they made us memorise as children; through museums, books, stories, ceremonies, speeches and their language… Those who \u201cforce\u201d men to take arms and who teach them that it is \u201ccompulsory\u201d to kill are now watching a murder in shock!<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Those who remain silent over the words, \u201c<\/strong>It is a woman<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s duty to follow a man<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s command<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong> cannot have tears to shed for the murder of a girl.

\nThey don\u2019t even understand that they are \u201c<\/strong>normalising<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong> violence.
\nIn fact, they\u2019re justifying a murder…
\nThey are giving out \u201c<\/strong>hints<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong> to other murderers, irresponsibly, recklessly, loutishly…<\/p>\n
\nTheir tongues hang out when trying to appease others, spilling rust and spewing out mould everywhere.<\/p>\n
\nThere\u2019s \u201c<\/strong>darkness<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong>.
\nWe must first question that darkness…<\/p>\n
\nIt is learned.<\/p>\n
\nThat is the \u201c<\/strong>darkness<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
\nIt is to sanctify bigotry instead of science, modernity and absolute knowledge!<\/p>\n
\nFor they are without hope…
\nOur lives, our country and our future are in fragments…
\nWords have lost their meaning, and so have thoughts and knowledge…
\nA never-ending pain in our guts…
\nNeither the familiar mornings, nor the sincere friendships we have witnessed remain…
\nThis state of constraint and uncertainty, of mediocrity, has scattered our personalities…
\nThe smirking attitude of the protocol [Translator<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s note: reference to<\/em> politicians<\/em>] at official spectacles of insolence has worn out our patience…<\/p>\n
\nWe are decaying and eroding…
\nOur voices do not echo in the colour of the streets…
\nMothers do not smile, there is always worry in our hearts, always a sense of unease.<\/p>\n
\nThey are designing anger, murders and violence and they always have a reason.
\nThat is the darkness!<\/p>\n
\nThey kill a girl by hitting her on the head again and again…
\nIt\u2019s impossible, it can\u2019t be, don\u2019t believe it, the sun does not rise…
\nWe bury the hearts of children in the ground…
\nWe throw earth over their eyes…
\nWe lay their bodies in darkness in the middle of this darkness…<\/p>\n
