Fethiye Çetin, humans rights lawyer and author from Istanbul, Turkey will present her lecture titled “Echo of Silence” on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Berberian Social Hall of St. Paul Armenian Church in Fresno.
Çetin learned from her grandmother that her family’s Armenian identity had been changed to Turkish in the wake of the Armenian Genocide.
The revelation sparked her to write her first book in 2004, a memoir titled “My Grandmother: An Armenian Turkish Memoir.” The lecture is part of the spring Armenian studies lecture series.
