Actually, before i came here i thought that there will be a boring athmosphere
over there. But now, i see that everybody is like met hey just trying to find
out each other, and the “other” culture but in such a kind way. İf it is a
brief of yesterda, yes a little bit tiring journey but exciting. Meeting othe
friends made me happy. Because being able to talk and discuss without any
prejudice made me feel free in my mind. And i want to add that i have had no
idea about people from armenia, not bad things…but now, i am getting gave more
and more ideas about them and i can see everybody is trying to learn. I want to
learn also.

I am going to tell about yesterday, the first exact day of summer school.
Normally, the firsts are too hard but i believe in that we have done very well.
At first, Sinan gökçen told us about the programme. What are we gonna do and
what is our aim.. so we seperated into small groups which have four-five people
and tried to know each other and tried to find our pur culture our group
includes gevorg, Dicle, lilit, me and Nazan. We have talked about marriage in
turkeyand armenia. That was ok. İ learnt lots of things about themççbut there
is a problem in my mind that how can we turn that into a product at the end of
the summer school. Now i am thinking on it. Anyway, after group work, murat
belge talked with us on about history..i had a new way of understanding
history. In his speech he told that everybody, every country tries to forget
their past just to have a brilliant future. Because only with a clear past you
can have a perfect future. İ am going to think about it. Also i cant pass it we
met sevan nisanyan who teached me lots of things about diffrent cultures in
turkey. And i believe in that there are lots of things to learn for me.

At school, i have always complained about that there was no chance for us to
introduce ourselves and create our own things. That was my biggest problem at
high school also at university. But yesterday i have seen that yes. We have a
chance and very big chance to introduce ourselves as we got our first newspaper
which is made by cemil, mariam, luisine and Mustafa. That makes me feel happy
and confident. We also talked about literature, turkish literature and greek
one. Some turkish writers like as ziya Gökalp and ömer Seyfettin; made
nationalism propagandas in their boks and that caused some problems to trust
other countries again. It was the most interesting idea form e that i catched
in the speech. After this speech sevan nisanyan- iam so proud that i could
talked to him. Came and talked about armenia- which is so important form e
cause i have know nothing about…we have discussed about two hours and than we
went outside ..we went to museum, st.pierre church.

It was my second visit to vakiflikoy on Sunday but i started but i started to
feel like that was the village i go so often. I started to know people
over there..and the most interesting thing form e, some of them also behaved me
so close like the relative or something else. The ceremony was so interesting
form e. I just thought that, yes they are so close to each other and they
are happy of being armenian in turkey being together. I also talked some
interesting sentences from their speech. I am going to tell that in the
newspaper. But i am so happy being there.
