the list of Intellectuals who started the apology campaign is impressive. Here is their website and the list. There are some intellectuals who are always found in a position against official discourses, sometimes just for the sake of being opponent. But there are many others who occupy more moderate liberal positions.. I have some reservations to this campaign but so far I could not really articulate them. So I am waiting and in the mean time here is another round up about the apology campaign. PM Erdoğan, in his newly acquired nationalism, was quick to react and but there are more reactions of course…
update –
I agree with Nuray Mert’s arguments (in Turkish).
