Selina Dogan Commemorated Armenian Feminist Women In the Turkish Parliament

tert.am

CHP Istanbul MP Selina Dogan in the Turkish parliament commemorated Armenian writers and thinkers Elbis Gesaratsyan, Sirpuhi Düsap, Zabel Asadur, Zabel Yesayan and Hayganus Mark, who are considered as the first feminists of Turkey, Masis post reports.

Stating that many things have been said on the occasion of March 8 but the problem remains as it is, Dogan said, "This means that either the way we discuss this issue is not right or we are not sincere."

"While Halide Edip is naturally commemorated with respect, her contemporary Zabel Yesayan, with whom she exchanged letters, is ignored. While dear Sabiha Sertel has the place she deserved in the feminism history of this country, nobody remembered her contemporary Elbis Gesaratsyan. While Nezihe Muhiddin, who struggled for enfranchisement of woman and whom I respect deeply, was making feminist history, her counterpart Hayganus Mark, who issued a woman magazine for 14 years, is not remembered at all."
