Today’s article is written in direct response to your wishes, dear reader. Last week, Turkey is Typing focuses on the Death of Hrant Dink by using both Turkish and Armenian sources, and sparked an avid debate on the comments section. Many questions were raised: is this the continuation of Turkish and Armenian animosity? Is Article 301 of the Turkish penal code to blame? Is it Turkish nationalism, ultra-nationalism? Or is it Muslim extremism? I personally doubt that an answer will ever be found, but I stand in awe of the healthy dialogue that this tragic event has given birth too.

Or does the West have a problem with such an invasion? Which West are we alluding to? Or that a demand is made upon Germany to 'tolerate' Turkish culture?? I thought toleration was in the makeup of the Germans. Why does it need to be limited to Turks alone? Can they or shouldn't they also tolerate the Kurds, or the Armenians, or the Greeks, or the Jews amongst them?

These people who marched in protest to his death were the minority in Turkey. That is secular minded intellectuals primarily made up of those of Armenian and Kurdish ethnicity. Those majority of Turks seem, especially since the Invasion of Iraq by the United States, to reject Western values (even though most nationalist Turks can not seem to define exactly what that means). The E.U. should demand that Turkey put to a vote whether they wish to reject multi-culturalism. If so, then Germany and all of the EU should vote to follow suit and pass extremely strict laws on Turkish immigration. It is hypocritical in the extreme to demand that nations like Germany tolerate Turkish culture and lack of willingness to assimilate into German culture, while at the same time refusing to do the same themselves in their homeland.
