What has changed in
our foreign policy?
|
Let us simply accept that there has rarely been a society which has been taught its own history so incorrectly. Just think for a moment: Even the children and grandchildren of the families who were the victims of the massacre in Dersim are just starting to learn their own history.

And actually, there are still so many Dersim residents who don’t know their personal history, who haven’t been able to learn it. After all, it’s not that easy to transcend those history books written with the goal of students memorizing and pounding out facts. But while we were busy wrestling with these nuanced problems, Onur Öymen came to our rescue. He defended the massacre in Dersim. And what’s more, he did this during a period when the Alevis are supporting the CHP like never before. But the Alevis have not gotten over their surprise at Öymen’s words. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, himself a Dersim native, has called for Öymen’s resignation, trying to use the situation and his own stance as an example of the many voices under the CHP umbrella. But what sort of chorus of voices is this that can encompass not only a person who defends the Dersim massacre but also those who lost their lives and spirit in Dersim?
