As part of her United States trip to accept the prestigious award, Ms. \u00c7etin had meetings and public talks in New Jersey and Michigan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On November 12, the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Ramapo College and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Armenian-National-Committee-of-New-Jersey-ANC-of-NJ-1022084434479413\/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armenian National Committee of New Jersey<\/a> (ANC of NJ) hosted her in Mahwah, NJ at a talk titled \u201cHidden\u2019 No More: Challenges Facing Islamized Armenians in Turkey.\u201d Her words were translated by Nurhan Becidyan, a member of the board of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ms. \u00c7etin also addressed the youth on November 14 as part of the ANCA-ER Advocacy Workshop hosted by the St. Sarkis Church in Dearborn, MI. The aim of the workshop was to educate, motivate, and activate the community and provide with the necessary knowledge and tools to undertake a more effective grassroots advocacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In her remarks Ms. \u00c7etin described Turkey as a country where individuals do not feel free, where every demand for freedom is repressed with blood and violence, a country where violence has become commonplace and is legitimized, and a country where the lives of journalists are made unbearable. She described the Armenian Genocide as the root cause of the brutal and authoritarian face of contemporary Turkey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Republic of Turkey, which bases its foundation on the atrocity and violence of the genocide, sustains itself by producing fear and threats and by creating expendable and disposable lives. Yesterday the expendable lives were those of the Armenians. Today, Kurds, women, LGBT people and members of the opposition meet the same fate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fethiye \u00c7etin is a Turkish-Armenian lawyer, writer, and human rights activist. She has authored stories about the impact of her ancestral roots, including My Grandmother, a memoir highly regarded within higher education in Turkey. \u00c7etin\u2019s grandmother, Seher, was an Armenian Christian taken during the genocide and adopted by a Turkish military official. The impact of her grandmother\u2019s roots has inspired \u00c7etin\u2019s memoir and her overall work as lawyer and human rights activist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is still time to make a donation to ANCA Eastern Region 9th annual banquet and support the organization\u2019s mission and current projects: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ancaef.org\/banquet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ancaef.org\/banquet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ANCA Eastern Region Endowment Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization that supports the ANCA Eastern Region in outreach to Armenian-American communities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Photo: Fethiye \u00c7etin addresses the community in Michigan<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DETROIT, MI \u2014 The Armenian National Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER) honored renowned lawyer, writer, and human rights activist Fethiye \u00c7etin with its highest honor, ANCA Freedom Award, at the 9th Annual ANCA Eastern Region Banquet on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6827,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[223,250,127],"class_list":["post-6826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-anca-new-jersey","tag-anca-michigan","tag-anca-eastern-region"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
