It is this courageous message of truth and justice \u2014 not the official genocide denials of Turkish government \u2014 that should be encouraged and empowered by President Obama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zarakolu is the longtime director of the Belge Publishing House, which has, since the early 1970s, courageously challenged legal restrictions (including the infamous Article 301 of the Criminal Code) and violent threats against public discourse about the Armenian Genocide, Kurdish issues, minority rights in Turkey, and other banned topics. Several titles published by Belge deal directly with the Armenian Genocide, a principled stand that has resulted in him being targeted by official prosecution, death threats, and even assassination attempts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He serves as chair of the Freedom to Publish Committee of the Turkish Publishers Association, is a leader member of the Turkish PEN Center. He was awarded the PEN Free Expression Award in 2003 and the IPA Freedom to Publish Prize in 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:
