Forgive us Hrant!
You've always been a brave, honest and intelligent son of this land. You loved it and died for it's democracy. Despite all evil you've had to face during your short life you have not left it and chosen this country as the home for your grandchildren. You should know that you have done much more for Turkey than the ultra-nationalist mob who have been against you and your rights have ever done.
God damn whoever have killed you! God damn the bloody internal or external forces behind him! God damn whoever prefers an isolated, non democratic, backward Turkey, who ever opposes any kind dialog and empathy between Turkish and Armenian nations! God damn whoever expects any benefit from that endless hatred!
Forgive me Hrant! Forgive OUR nation! Forgive Turks who understand you and respect your feelings! Forgive us who are respecting you and your rights!
I am ashamed to death! We are all guilty...First we were not able to protect your right of speech and finally we even failed in protecting your right of living. You know, as it has always bee: If we can not protect the first we can rarely secre the second.
Forgive us....Even if we do not deserve any piece of it...
I'm responsible for your murder Hrant! I'm your killer.
Rest in brotherhood and peace!
You should have seen that scene: Thousands in Istanbul's great Taksim Square are chanting now "We are all Armenians today!"
