E-Mail 'Gunaysu: 'The tongue cannot describe what the eye sees'' To A Friend

Dear Ms. Gunaysu,
Thank you for your column.  It reminds me that my great grandfather was a Hunchak  activist (not nationalist, united with Turkish progressives) at the time of the Armenian genocide.  He had been in prison for at least a year before the massacres began; he came home and his entire body was burnt black with chemicals in torture, according to my grandmother.  When the genocide began, he was tortured to death in front of his wife and children in their home.
I read news from Greece.  The new prime minister, George Papandreou, has as his first act made a visit to Turkey and the second to Cyprus. The Cypriots are now afraid of what compromises they will be asked to make.  I now have no doubt the protocols are for the sake of Turkey’s entry into the EC, something Mr. Papandreou unfortunately places more highly than his own country’s interests, in my opinon.  So, I will await something good to come out of them, but I am very skeptical.
I hope that among other things, human rights activists, you brave people in the tradition of my great grandfather, can carry on better than before.  I hope that torture in prison will cease or at least lessen.  My sympathies go to all who suffer for the cause of human rights.  All of you.
