AGOS EDITORIAL OFFICE RECEIVES THREATENING LETTERS

The editorial office of "Agos" Istanbul based Armenian
newspaper received a letter with threats signed by
previously unknown "the Turkish Revenge Brigade" on
January 25. According to "Radio Liberty," the letter
says – "after catholic priest Andrea Santoro was shot
dead in Trabizon this is another enemy dog killed." It
goes on – "Many of your dogs will die if you won’t be
cautious in your actions. We have enough of explosives
to blow up the building of Agos." And then the letter
declares – "a real genocide is yet ahead."

“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
