Is Yerevan Scared of History?

"Is Yerevan Scared of History?

A young Turkish researcher, Yektan Turkyilmaz, is being held in custody since June 17 by the Armenian intelligence service under high security conditions. He was due to appear in court tomorrow, facing according to Article 215/2 of the Armenian Penal Code a jail sentence of four to eight years for allegedly “smuggling rare books” out of the country. We hope that the court will reach a decision that will repair the gross injustice inflicted on Turkyilmaz."
