Voices in the Dark

Turkey's efforts to silence talk of the Armenian Genocide would be funny if the subject was not so serious. Last week a Turkish court banned an academic conference to discuss the genocide.

The participants were, however, harassed by protesters and assailed with tomatoes and eggs.
