Cemal Pasha grandson to present Genocide book in Yerevan

December 6, 2014 – 16:41 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – Yerevan will host a presentation of the “1915: The
Armenian Genocide” book, authored by Hassan Cemal, the grandson of the
Genocide orchestrator Cemal Pasha.

The event will be held December 11 in the framework of the Civilitas
Foundation project Climbing the Mountain.

A prominent Turkish journalist and writer, Hasan Cemal was the Chief
Editor of the Cumhuriyet daily, and columnist for Sabah and Milliyet
daily papers. He extensively covered the Kurdish issue and has been
criticized by the Turkish government for his publications.

In 2008, after a visit to the Genocide Memorial in Yerevan, Hasan
Cemal left a note in the commemorative book, stating that the denial
of the 1915 atrocities spells complicity in this crime against
humanity. In his book released in 2012, Hasan Cemal highlights his
personal experience of going from the Genocide denial to the
recognition of the tragedy.
