Apology Accepted

This past year, following a seminar on Turkey and Democracy at the Boisi Center (Boston College), Marash Girl was approached by a Kurdish woman, a graduate student at Boston College and a Turkish citizen who had suffered many indignities as a Kurd living in modern day Turkey.  The Kurdish woman hugged Marash Girl and, with tears in her eyes, apologized to Marash Girl for the part her people -- the Kurdish people -- had taken in the Genocide of the Armenian people  (1915-1923).
