ISTANBUL. – Columnist Oral Calislar of Radikal daily of Turkey is
appointed chief editor of Turkey’s renowned Taraf daily.

Taraf’s owner Basar Arslan decided to designate Calislar in place
of the daily’s former editor-in-chief Ahmet Altan, who had quit one
month ago, Istanbul’s Agos Armenian bilingual weekly reports. Prior
to this appointment, however, Taraf’s acting chief editor was Armenian
journalist Markar Esayan, who is the coordinator of the daily.

Oral Calislar is among those few Turkish intellectuals that recognize
the Armenian Genocide. On April 24, 2012, he took part in the Armenian
Genocide commemoration event that was held at Istanbul’s Taksim Square.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
