I personally knew Hrant Dink.
Yet in some way, his murder has ignited awareness of the continiation of Human Rights abuse in Turkey around the world...
I can merely say that the mentallity of the nationalist popualtion in Trabizond is the same as that of the rest of that country.
The nationalists are under the ridiculous illusion that they are 100% pure Altaic Turkmen.
The majority of muslims in Trabizond are actually of Pontic Greek origin.
There are others of Cherkez (Alan) Laz (muslim Georgian) Chechen origin settled there too.
This nationalism is government funded and any literature that dares reveal the true origins of the muslims of Anatolia is banned.
Once the muslims of Anatolia find out their true origins their nationalistic illusions will be shattered forever...
