* Kemal Yalçın

Yalcin was born in the Honaz sub-district of Turkey’s Denizli Province in 1952. In 1973 he graduated from the Capa Advanced Teachers’ College in Istanbul and the Philosophy Department of Istanbul University’s Faculty of Literature. After that, he taught philosophy at the Kaman Lycee in Kirsehir and the Kabatas Lycee in Istanbul. He worked in journalism and publishing in the years 1978-1980 and in 1981 he came to Germany, where, since 1989, he has worked as a Turkish instructor in Bochum. Mr. Yalcin was a product of the Turkish educational system,which reinforces the notion of an ethnically and religiouslyhomogeneous Turkish society and teaches little about minorities -- let alone the Armenian Genocide.He speaks freelyabout this topic, though he is aware that he might be the target of Turkish retribution. "I'm scared," he said. "But the reality is more important
After earning degrees in education and philosophy, Mr. Yalcin went on to become a journalist and anaward-winning author.

Among his many publications is his autobiography, Passion For Knowledge, that is among many of his works that have been recognized with awards. Through the assistance and sponsorship of the Tekeyan Cultural Association, Yalçin was able to travel to America for the first time four years ago.

When asked about Turkish public opinion and whether the Turkish educational system will ever allow future generations to learn about what really happened prior to 1923, Yalcin answered optimistically,"Today what we see in Turkey was unimaginable 30 years ago."
