Hikmet Dönmez MARAŞ Wrote on MARAŞ Book

Hikmet Dönmez wrote on MARAS MARAS Book Although forty-four years have passed since the Maraş massacre, it is still a time of tears, pain and We are witnesses that the bloody traces of brutality cannot be erased. The Maraş Massacre, in the witness of the sufferings experienced It bleeds every moment in the hearts of those who live and those who are partners. Of course hearts must bleed, of course Tears must not cease, of course, eyes that see, ears that hear must mobilise people's consciences, should not be erased from memory...It should not be erased... It must not be forgotten... It must not be forgotten, until justice is served. until it is found. The first thing that comes to mind is forty-four years of unfulfilled, evidence obscured and, most painful of all, no effort Can justice be achieved in this massacre case in which no effort was made and the murderers were rewarded? It was not done, will not be provided. The public opinion in Turkey and around the world, human rights Despite the defenders and the cries, eyes were blind, ears were deaf, consciences were blackened and consciences were not seen, The "focal points" who took courage from this did not hear...After the Maraş Massacre, they bled the country with dozens of massacres. and turned it into a lake. Was justice applied to them? No, because it was the same hand, the same mind and the same method. those who perpetrated the massacres. For this reason, the Maraş Massacre was committed by those who had it done, those who did it and those who as a brand of damnation on the necks of those who darken and reward, let alone punish, the perpetrators. for centuries to come. And as long as humanity exists, the perpetrators and perpetrators of the massacre will be condemned, Those who were massacred will be remembered as long as the human race continues. Many times articles have been written in the light of the testimonies, documentaries have been made, and will continue to be written in the future. Much more will be written in the light of the documents. My very close friend and colleague Faruk Demirel, a journalist and writer for thirty years "MARAS MARAS" written by his pen as a result of live witnesses and long researches Maras It is perhaps the first novel about the massacre! Therefore, this book is a must for witnessing history. must be read. The books written by journalist writer Demirel are respectively; "New Migratory Birds", "I came to Love", "My wife is cheating on me", "TANK TO TOMAYA-Resistance", "MARAŞ MARAŞ", "AND ANKARA", ALMINA DICTATOR'S DAUGHTER", "JIHAT UĞRUNA" were published by Ubuntu Publications. I know that Demirel is nearing the end of the work of his new book to be published, While writing his books, he conveyed social problems with his class consciousness and knowledge, and was far away from popular culture. I am one of those who know very closely that he uses his pen in the interest of the people. Educator, writer, Hasan Kıyafet wrote for the book "MARAŞ MARAŞ" "MARAŞ MARAŞ" I am quoting it to you without touching a comma: "It was not easy to bring the gods down from the sky. Just as the humanisation of man and literature just as it's not easy to keep your feet on the ground. Despite everything, Sisyphus carries his burden to the top of the mountain the truth walks. We say this, of course, about Faruk Demirel's latest novel "MARAS MARAS". Sisyphus, Knowing that the heavy burden he had lifted to the top in a sweat of blood and sweat would roll to the bottom of the mountain again with a flick! The author's relationship with literature begins during his twenty-five years as a journalist. "New Immigrant I read his story books "Birds" and "Aşka Geldim". I can say this about his newly published novel "MARAS MARAS", which I read in one breath one of the rare novels... In this novel, Demirel not only underlines the phrase "Forgetting is treason!", but also engraves this phrase in our heads. He shines a projector on the Maraş massacre. Moreover, he does not do this at a desk, not with abstract concepts; but by living, travelling and examining with the fluency of an interview. Unbearable tortures and pain. with an acting literary skill. In the meantime, we can see that he experienced the fascism of 12 September like every intellectual. It should also be noted that the fact that he had lived in the same country made it easier for him to produce his work. Since he followed the socialist realist line in literature, he was clearly a biased writer from the beginning. by taking sides. The side of the truth, of course! In other words, he falls into the bourgeois trap and it doesn't fall. In the meantime, with the place names and the reality of the events, the deep state has nowhere to escape. and he doesn't let go. Thus, a documentary novel that makes the bad guys cry, with a courage to be celebrated and the author's view of events from a class perspective. In addition, since the author looks at events from a class perspective, he shows that literature and art He is aware that politics in power is an instrument of education. In this respect, the essence as well as the form in art that the form is the only thing that matters. In other words, the understanding that emphasises only form is in reality a futurist scarecrow. is aware of this. He has often emphasised that the Maraş, Çorum, Sivas massacres and Fatsa incidents were not causes but consequences. that is why he reminds us of it. In short, not to please the bourgeois, so to speak, He writes with a didactic approach to open the eyes of the people. He also addresses the Alevi problem today, the Kurdish Knowing the risk and the burning of writing the truth! Faruk Demirel's ability to add humour and humour to the narrative, which is a difficult task in literature we've known for a long time. But this time his job has become really difficult. Because he was subjected to unimaginable tortures. It must be really difficult, very, very difficult to add humour to painful testimonies! In summary, "MARAS MARAS" It is not only a novel, but also a note to history. I say it must be read..."
