Sense and Sensibility - A Conversation Beyond Borders
summary
Argues that strong female networks — women as carriers of memory — are the practical tool to rebuild multicultural coexistence; documents Turkey’s institutional culture of amnesia versus Armenian memory and calls for Turks to remember first. Cites a court case where fictional characters were tried, warns of growing self‑censorship, and claims roughly 85% of readers are women as a social lever. Advocates clear steps: revive oral memory, expand women writers, defend free media.
