Sincerity on Ergenekon case can only be proved through AKP’s approach to Hrant Dink case and so far it sucks…
by ORHAN KEMAL CENGİZ
the following day I read news coverage about an interesting ?attempt? by the opposition party?s local politicians. You may have heard about it, during the last meeting to commemorate the anniversary of the murder of Armenian-Turkish journalist Hrant Dink, some demonstrators changed the name of a street to Hrant Dink Street. It was quite a nice gesture by the demonstrators, who covered a street sign with the word ?Ergenekon? written on it with a sign with ?Hrant Dink? written on it. It was probably this act which inspired some members of the İstanbul Municipal Assembly to propose changing the name of Ergenekon Street to Hrant Dink Street. The proposal was put forward by members of the Republican People?s Party (CHP), which, at the national level and in Parliament, is the most fervent supporter of the status quo and antidemocratic structures.The proposal was put forward by Özgen Nama, who is a member of the İstanbul Municipal Assembly. He is from the CHP. Mr. Nama?s proposal was supported by 112 other members of the assembly who are also from the CHP. But the majority of the members of the assembly are from the Justice and Development Party (AKP). They voted against the proposal and the proposal has been rejected. I do not know if any delegate from the AKP voted in favor of the proposal, but it is understood that the majority voted ?No.?For those of you who are not too familiar with what is going on in Turkey, this event may not seem very significant, and you may not understand the gravity of the situation.
