Turkey’s Internal Affairs Ministry filed court proceedings against
Roni Margulies, the Jewish columnist of the Taraf daily of Turkey,
who had written a critical column against Turkish Internal Affairs
Minister Idris Naim Sahin, who had made an anti-Armenian speech during
the demonstration held in Istanbul on February 26.
Margulies, on the other hand, notes his column insulted no one. “The
PM and the Internal Affairs Minister are filing a lawsuit thinking
they will force us to stop writing. Do they think we will be afraid?
We would not have written if we had feared. We are not stupid. The
Minister must apologize not solely to the Armenians, but to entire
Turkey as well,” Roni Margulies said.
