Kuzim - Guzem (+video)

This is 1 of my favorite #ARMENIAN songs .. hemshin dialekt / the #Hemshin peoples#Համշէնցիներ #Hemşinli
Filmmaker #Özcan #Alper, made the 1. motion picture in Homshetsi, Momi (Grandma), released in 2000. As a result, Alper was accused in the Court for State Security of producing material intended to destroy the unity of the state, under article 8 of #Turkey's anti-terror law. 

This law was repealed in 2003 after EU pressure, and Alper's trial did not go ahead. 
Older generations of #Turkish #Hamshenis see the reference "#Ermeni" (often used by their Laz neighbours) as an #insult, but some among younger generations, particularly those with strong leftist leanings tend to identify themselves as #Armenians
Enjoy!  kuzim .. guzem
