Serj Tankian praised Garo Paylan for his speech during the Turkish parliament session when he mentioned the Armenian Genocide.
In a message posted on Facebook, Tankian called MP “a true hero”.
“On a special day like today celebrating MLK and everything he stood for, Erdogan's gov't kicks out an MP in Turkey for mentioning the genocide. Garo Paylan is a true hero because it's quite easy to speak the truth in a society with no repercussions but very dangerous in one that has many repercussions. I had the unique honor of meeting him last year. We are with you Garo,” he wrote.
