Once upon a time, I had become a good
reader of Harry Potter thanks to my children. I watched, of course, the
film series several times. I noticed in this period: Voldemort is
normally a person "who must not be named." But everyone, without
exception, knows that his name is Voldemort and say it. I remember
asking my eldest son "But his name should not be said, how it is
possible that everybody say his name?" He answered with a very serious
expression: "No, only cowards do not say it."
In Turkey, reactions about the Armenian
genocide have become very bizarre in 2015. This has become more visible
with the recent statements of the Pope and the decision of the European
Parliament.
