An anti-racism initiative will organize a series of protests and marches in Turkey on April 24, the date when some countries, HürriyetDaily writes, commemorate the "alleged" Armenian genocide in the last days of the Ottoman Empire.
The commemoration march organized by the "Say Stop to Racism and Nationalism!" initiative will begin in Istanbul, while simultaneous demonstrations will also be held in the cities of Ankara, Bodrum, Bursa, Diyarbakır and İzmir.
Marchers will rally behind the slogan, "This pain belongs to all of us."
The initiative was jointly founded by Turkish intellectuals and civil-society representatives from Istanbul's Armenian community immediately after the assassination of Hrant Dink, the Armenian-Turkish editor-in-chief of weekly Agos in 2007.
