The town celebrated the 93rd anniversary of its \u201crescue day from the enemy occupation\u201d with a vivid reenactment of the historical events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cTurkey says it wants peace and dialogue with its neighbors. Is this the way to build up dialogue, by poisoning the young generations?\u201d Armenian academic Haygazun Alvrstyan, a professor at the Center for Armenian Studies at Yerevan State University, told the H\u00fcrriyet Daily News &amp; Economic Review on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cWhen I saw the story [about the reenactment], I said one word to myself: \u2018pity.\u2019 That is all,\u201d said journalist Etyen Mah\u00e7upyan, a Turkish citizen of Armenian origin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0\u00a0Sezgin Tanr\u0131kulu, the deputy leader of the main opposition Republican People\u2019s Party, or CHP, responsible for human-rights issues, also criticized the events in Bayburt. \u201cIt is shameful for Turkey that hate speech is practiced on children in such a way,\u201d he told the Daily News on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The anniversary ceremony was held on Bayburt\u2019s Cumhuriyet Street and was attended by Bayburt Gov. Kerem Al; Mayor Hac\u0131 Ali Polat; parliamentarians from the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP; and Col. Faruk Kayadelen, commander of the military post in Bayburt.
