A "late" Kurdish Apology-On the 90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide

Yousif Shikho, a Kurdish writer, wrote a "late" apology to the Armenian people on the eve of the 90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
In this article, Shikho says: "As a Kurd, I live at a distance of 90 years far away from the time of one of the greatest massacres of the modern history. I find myself obliged to adopt the courage of apologize among people who regard the apology as a disgrace or an act done only by the weak!!
I would say to all Armenians that I apologize for the act my ancestors, of whom I am not proud, did with you. My ancestors charged their chests with hate, and their insight was blinded by Islamic religious and Kurd national fanaticism. They were involved in disgraceful acts by looting, raping and butchering their neighbors and friends without any religious or moral restraint.
I apologize to you because the Kurd politicians do not do so. It seems they are not concerned with the matter, or perhaps they do not recognize the massacres, just like the Turks who managed the Genocide and pushed the Kurds to this stagnant bog to remain in its dirtiness, even after 90 years.
I apologize to you because I, like you, suffered the Genocide and knew the bitterness of ignoring the crime. I apologize because the martyred Halabja city (the Iraqi Kurdish city which was hit by chemical weapons in 1988) taught me the ugliness of crime. I apologize to every child from you whose father was killed at his sight. I apologize to your poet Hwanes (Hovhannes) Shiraz, to poet Awadik (Avedik) Ishakian (Isahakian). I apologize to the mother who was raped at the sight of her children and whose husband was killed by my ancestors. I apologize to the priest who was killed in public by the orders of a molla !! I apologize to the thousands who were lost in the wilderness and died by cold, thirst, hunger and fear of the Kurds, with whom they, some times before, shared the loaf of bread and the dose of water.
.. I apologize to you Wanes (Ohannes), Mgrdich, Agop (Hagop), Mary and Zepour (Zepiur). I say to you all: I am a free Kurd who do not believe in parties, but I become ashamed of myself every year when April month comes and people begin to talk about massacres without seeing the Kurds being couraged to express themselves on this subject, even negatively, when some state they are false charges against us !! We see the Kurdish satellite channels praising their deceased or living leaders, without airing at least one program about the massacres as horrible events committed by oppressive Turks and not by the miserable Kurds!!
