When is the funeral for Article 301?
|
|
The code name for the fascist mindset that created the grounds for Hrant Dink's murder is called "Article 301."
|
|
|
301, in a sense, was the order for Dink's death, while the Court of Appeals decision was the seal on that order. In other words, Dink's "insult to Turkishness" had been politically and legally certified. His "Armenian-ness" was already common knowledge; it was common knowledge in a country where, according to some, everyone is born a soldier, friends can only be of your own race, there is no choice between loving or leaving the nation, the Sèvres paranoia frequently resurfaces, and dissenting views are equivalent to treason. Article 301 is the box in which the archaic and pathological Turkishness fetish is concealed. It serves to strengthen this fetish while it grows with it as well; it survives because of it.
