Istanbul Armenian MP and vice-chairman of the opposition pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) of Turkey, Garo Paylan, who is running for parliament again, spoke to Agos Armenian weekly of Istanbul.

In particular, Paylan reflected on people’s concerns over his bold addresses, and he stressed that Armenians did not speak out in 1915 and that is why that calamity—Armenian Genocide—befell upon them.
